Man... you're really being hard on yourself! Yes, this career does take a lot of dedication (time investment, sacrifice, painful struggle) but don't forget that we're all just humans - it's ok to feel down now and then, and to have trouble concentrating or fulfilling certain amounts of workhours/quantity/quality. Don't put a gun to your head for these kinds of things!
Pushing yourself is hard and necessary, but also allow yourself some time to be human (breaks, messing up, feeling down, etc). No giving up allowed!! You can do it!
If doing your usual study and work feels too tough to do, or you're really having a hard time getting your stuff done, what do you think about trying out something entirely different? New techniques, something you usually don't do, something that requires a slightly different toolset but still counts as art. Maybe that would help you feel a bit better?
I really like the perspective you have going in that last painting, very cool and dramatic shot :)
