Demotivated by increasingly harder workouts

You probably get an inflated number with the ramp test. There are better ways to test FTP.

See this thread: Kolie Moore's FTP test protocol

In the mean time before your next FTP test I would just do your workouts at a lower power. It is way more better to get an entire session completed at a slightly lower power than completing one interval and being too tired to do another.
