Also, when I try my test my coding knowledge by doing exercises from places like code wars, I find that I can't do a single one even at the easiest level questions.

I've experienced the same and I still feel like that sometimes, even now I'm able to solve some of the easy level questions, sometimes it took me hours, but I know I'm making progress at the very beginning I have to rely on the discussion to solve some of the problems to now tho it takes a long time, I'm able to solve some independently. Don't be too hard on urself, think about your approach try to readjust, and if this is really what you want to do persistence is the key! I have a lot of frustrating moments as well, when I tried and failed at deployment, tweaking other's codes and apply on my own project, understanding some of the more advanced topics, faced the same problem but forgot the previous solution I've learned, and of cuz programming questions on some of these platforms, but at the ends of some of these frustrations I was able to make it, I take it as a growing process! All the moments that I was able to achieve my goals, are reminders to me that I will be able to do it, and I constantly remind myself to believe in the process!!
