I would have the conversation with your boss again. There are only a few limited solutions to this problem, you reduce your workload, burn out or quit. Therefore reducing your workload is not only the best solution for you but for your boss too. When you speak to your boss, start it as a fact and not as your feelings so for example 'The workload I have right now is unfeasible. It is not possible for one person to complete in the amount of time I am expected to do it. I will no longer be working overtime and so if you do not want to delegate it to other members of the team, some of the work will not get completed.'. Keep the boundaries of when you are off, be off. If it hits 6pm and that is what your contract states, then that's when you stop, regardless of how much work is left. If you are not being compensated financially for overtime then you are doing the job of more than one person and that's not fair. All of this will be uncomfortable, and will come with a risk but if you are on the edge of burnout then you have no choice and this is not on you.
