Should I quit with commissions?

Rawr!
It's with.. a lot of depression and self-concern that I write this journal.
Long story short.. my job is a commission only job. I've had barely anything since January and in the meantime have been living off next to nothing while hunting for work elsewhere. In my crisis I tried to do art - on top of my job to help with my bills and while I know I ain't the best artist ever lol - I also charge about 1/4 of the UK min wage / Hour of work that goes into it. And well... my list has been pretty dry..
I then started to branch out into digital - offering Pay What you Want and I've had like 2... after hours and hours and hours of streaming, I'm still no better off.
I'm really just considering shutting up shop, I feel that , even at the cheapest price I can offer - people are still not paying me to work. It's also why I've not posted anything in a while - I've been feeling that my art is worth so little in value that there's just no point in doing it anymore.

PS: Gave you a shoutout~
If there are customers, they've been broke for 6 months or just aren't interested. I've been sharing the streams on here, twitter and across groups on Facebook as well as Telegram and Discord >-< I'm not sure what more I can do really haha.
Thanks for the shoutout though hun!
