Been in this situation b4 - quit first job out of school after 1.5 years of being in it...couldnt take it. Spent ~8 months trying to start a company to only lose like 10k, and not have a lot to show other than some cobbled together code.

I rebased, and saved up - have a job now paying 3x the amount i made then and some runway to pick it up again and bust my ass this time (with a f/t job)

What went wrong during your first go at it?

Ran out of $, really. People telling me I was crazy, that I needed more experience.
