Time to quit flying?

I fly mainly 99% VFR flights with some instructing as well.

I do hold a multiengine IR rating and I have been keeping it alive with proficiency checks, each second year in simulator and each second in the real deal aircraft.

Due to this my flight proficiency in multi engine environment have of course decreased every year.

This time we did some extra training in the simulator to try to get my standard up before doing the real deal in aircraft.

But have you heard, I did crash the simulator on two occasions when in engine failure and failing to use rudder correctly and also missing airspeed due to high workload.

Is this the time to realize I should stop doing any more proficiency checks in multi engine and let the licence expire? I also wonder if I should stop the VFR instructing because how many instructors is out there going crashing simulators. I should not be flying.
