How to stay motivated with being a gfx artist?

I seriously need help I feel so cheated if that makes sense so let me state my situation:
So I am a gfx artist I think I make decent gfx for very cheap I am also a drummer so I sometimes do that to pass the time I have been getting many offers on my gfx but I have been in a slump because people always find a way how to dodge paying I will spend hours sweating my butt off asking them between every hour if they like it and when I send them the watermarked version of the gfx they always block me I am honestly in a sort of “depressed” slump that was meant to be taken with a grain of salt but I hope you understand where I am coming from its like this: “A man who buys bread without seeing the bread and expects a clean loaf is delusional and has high expectations” (I have no idea where I heard that from).
But that should personify my issue I just want guidance in my issue and to see if there is anyone in my boat!

if you want to see some of my gfx just message me I am not sure if I am allowed to put them I this category

This has been largely answered in another topic of yours.

Where do you place the watermark before requesting payment? Is it in the corner or is it across the whole graphic?
Given that your work seems to unfortunately be stolen often, it might benefit you to watermark your work in a similar manner to this, before receiving payment:

Absolutely across the entire graphic. That way they can’t crop it out
