Are you playing any music just for fun with other people? Here's an idea: Reach out to some local folks outside your regular orbit and schedule a chamber music reading session just for fun. Try your local music teachers association. Worst case you'll suffer some mediocre players for an hour, but more likely than not you'll meet some folks who play well, are fun, and have a completely different perspective on their day to day music making.
Are you recording yourself on a regular basis? Record an excerpt of something you are working on today, keep practicing it, and then record it again in a week and see if you really are making no progress - or if that is just a story you are telling yourself.
Burnout from time to time is a fact of life in any professional pursuit. Learn to expect it and welcome it as an opportunity to do try something different, either in your approach or in your life. Maybe you just need to take a solid few days away from the clarinet. 3 or 4 days at least, maybe a week or two. What have you been missing out on?
You may want to check out the Digital Clarinet Academy if you can. It's kind of tailored to people more or less in your position.
