A self employed person generally has multiple clients, can control their hours and tools, and so on. Those self employed people who do work constantly will generally have high enough rates they can take time off. You’re not self employed in that sense. You’re quasi employed, but without any of the protections of being an employee. The only positive thing you said about this arrangement is you had downtime. But now you’ve lost that, and work more hours, and yet are still not earning enough to take time off. Why, exactly, are you doing this? You only have one life. There must be alternatives.
