something important I guess

General
I don't talk about this much because I'm afraid of asking for help of any sort
And honestly, I've been struggling mentally for almost all of last year and definitely all of this year. Last year it was because of work, having to work and function every day and being worn down immediately every day. And this year, it's because of the remnants from that and struggling to find a job that doesn't make me want to slip into non-existence.
I managed to get on cash benefits from my state, but it's only 417 a month, barely enough to cover my car and insurance payments, and applied for disability but who fucking knows when I'd be able to actually get that
But until I somehow find a job that doesn't fuck me mentally, or get disability, art has to be my main source of income, but I can't do it
I can't get enough attention off my art to even begin to sustain myself and I really can't do it without any help.
I'm trying to not get into this last part too much, but I really really need some sort of help, I need to make some sort of sales from my art, or I just can't do this
I've been trying for over a decade for at least somewhat regular income from my art but I'm too severely introverted to be annoying about it, I'm too slow to post something on a regular basis, I'm too avoidant of trends to follow them, I'm too broken to feel like I can ask for help but it's what I need
