Better yet, why did he thought that abandoning his job for a ill-thought whim would impress his previous employer so much that he would be eager to offer a raise to get that old employee back?

I should have :(
Look for another job it's not the end of the world. Be positive. I know it is hard but you have come to a position you have talent you will find a fit for your talent. Don't give up
Chalk it up to just a normal lesson you learn in life, be very grateful you have a way to make money.
Meanwhile plan your escape to your next job more thoughtfully, and make sure that when you leave with the latest gig you feel they would speak positively of you. This is important to build a network of healthy resources.
Doing something that is not passionate is a place we all find ourselves in. Some people end up staying there for a long time and find other things in their life to excite them.
Personally over the years I have gone back and forth from extremely grueling passionate work to some jobs are more 9-5 slinging code for money.
In either case learn the most you can from where you are and paddle towards a happier situation, but set this one down smartly.

You don't seem like someone who's going to be happy working for someone else with nothing else going on.
Why don't you find a small but enjoyable project that you can do on the side of your new job? Make it something you can build in a month or two tops without having to quit your job, take a cofounder, or raise money. Also, make it something that could feasibly generate monthly revenues of $500+.
Worst-case scenario you'll learn a lot. Maybe you'll even hit on something that you can turn into a nice business.

Look for another job and put the history behind you.
You can offer a lot of value to a new employer, don't walk in through the door from a position of weakness.
Walk in through the door like the valuable experienced employee that you can be.

Thanks all for your kind words :)
I am feeling much better now. Hope to recover from this state of mind soon.
Look for another job.
But they were willing to take you back at your old salary?
