Of course it's not terrible, it's just not working for you.

Totally understandable. Just let them know it's not working; if they're decent people, give them a bit of notice if poss (or not if you're at breaking point and there's no contractual stipulation) and go.
Maybe you could look out for more occasional freelance-type shifts somewhere (don't know what you do) if you really do need more money.
All the best and full props to you for putting in that energy for 3 months op
