Your desperation to get out of your career is putting too much pressure on your programming. Having your entire future weigh on every single programming thing you do sure sounds heavy and stressful. No wonder you can't think straight anymore. When we start getting 'too stuck' on a problem, it is always better to stop working on it and return later. Your brain needs rest. I swear, most of my aha-moments and good ideas happened when I went to the toilet. Lol.
Take a break. Don't let your entire future or self confidence be tied to a single programming task. That way, you'll always feel like shit, because when we are learning, we are bound to run into stuff we don't understand yet and cannot do. That's not failure, but progress.

@allthecode How I got great at coding... and you can too
Here's how I got great at programming. Follow this path and you'll be a developer before you know it (well, 6 months to a year but time flies when you're having fun!)
1 Took a great course called CS50 (more details below)
2 Completed every problem set and challenge
Coded at least 30 minutes a day for a year 4 Made an app to solve a problem in my life
Never gave up, never complained, did the work, didn't look for shortcuts
CS50 is an amazing free course by Harvard and can be found at
CS50.net
It's an intro to computer science and in my opinion there is no better
course to get started in programming!
And remember, there's no shortcut to learning to code, it takes time, effort and hard work - it's fun, it's satisfying but you need tenacity and patience.
Save this post for when you start to skip and need a reminder that it can be done and you can do it!
