Things change fast
But this too shall pass
Better carve it on your forehead
Or tattoo it on your ass

What in the world do you do when you become so dissatisfied with everything you draw, so much that you have just stopped altogether. I'm so unsatisfied with my style, my poses lack anything dynamic, everything about my art is flat and formulaic. Especially my color and style.
I've stagnated, but what do I do? I've tried to draw but everything I do just makes me more and more frustrated and repulsed. What do I do if I can't start drawing again? Everything I've done has been to insure I make my living in drawing and art.
I feel so...lost.

Really your art is quite good. Yes like everything continued improvement is good but don't get discouraged if your aren't improving as fast as you wish you were. Don't compare yourself to the best artists out there. The most important question you need to ask yourself is: Do people appreciate and enjoy my art? and the answer is yes.
Since you're involved with other artistic endeavors maybe just focus on those for awhile and come back to drawing in the future? Never give it up entirely though. It would truly be a shame if you were to stop drawing never to again.
Paint something. Actual physical paints. Get a really big canvas or chunk of cardboard or something. Fingerpaint. Or collage. Sandcastles.
Art is fun. Do fun art, remind yourself that it doesn't have to be perfect.
