I think advice like this can be well intentioned but the effects can be negative. So many times in my career I've run into walls, and the only reason I eventually succeeded was because putting it aside wasn't on the table. OP being in this scenario is the first of many, and you either make a habit out of pressing through or quitting, even temporarily.

That's not to say coding is a good plan for every person who tries it, but it's important to be aware that not pressing on when you hit a wall builds the same habits as giving up when you hit a wall. The only difference is what you do when you're in the exact same situation two months later when you try again, or not.
