Anyone not having a stable job...how do you handle it psychologically?

Trying to make it as a visual artist is difficult...there are months where i am okay and then months where I barely make it. And it's not that I'm a big spender... The psychological ups and downs that come with this instability and insecurity is something serious really. There comes days where i think life would be so much easier if I had a regular job....

I have a regular job and to be honest with you, I have times of stressful instability where I just don't know how secure my job actually is. At times, I'm riding an emotional rollercoaster.

@Timeforsun thank you....it helps me with the perspective.. for sure there are stressful moments anywhere.
But then again.. it's a bit more relaxed knowing the paycheck isn't for the next xxx months but just for this current one...ugh
