Wow so many points to address.

First up, you wrote quite a bit but never expressed something super important - do you enjoy developing, do you feel happy doing it? Or is it just a job and a means to put food on the table?

Secondly, technology is a broad area and I actually knew plenty of developers who quit within 6 months and went into other tech areas (sales, project management, etc.).

Finally, I've been coding for decades and sometimes I feel crap about my own work too when I look at the quality of stuff that some others are able to produce. I'm at peace with that though, because I know my real skills lie elsewhere. That, and I'm happy doing what I do, I feel good about it and I figure if I keep trying I can only get better.
