You are telling me! I have had many jobs that I have loved at first, but then in my manic pulse I end up losing them. I, too, enjoy creativity- art, music, etc. much more appealing but to make a living with it is tough.

I don't have advice on what to do, but only offer my encouragement that you are not alone in this. The modern workforce is so full of sharks and insensitivity, I can barely stand it.

If you can, try to sell on ebay. It is a solo deal, and can make you enough money to live off of. The way I did it for a while was picking up second-hand name brand jeans at garage sales and flea markets, and selling them at 5-10x my purchase price.

The secret to ebay are the photos. The more you have, and the higher quality of your photos, the more sales. Imagine you are shopping, what would you want to see? Every angle possible, right?

Anyways, I wish you the best, and pray you find something you like out there
