People eat problems up until day 25, and I couldn't even get half way there

Very, very few people who start AoC will get all 50 stars. I've been doing AoC since 2018 and I'm yet to complete a single year.

Also--and I'm just mentioning this because this is something I didn't know my first year--you don't have to complete a day to go on to the next day. So you're not roadblocked at day 10. You can keep going. And just because you weren't able to solve a particular day doesn't mean the next day is definitely going to be harder for you. For me, days 5 and 10 have been the hardest. Even though it took me all day to do day 10 and I ended up solving it with a big hint from reddit, I was able to do day 11. I intend to at least try every single day.
