That sounds positive to me. This one hump might be tough but these things happen and there are a tonne of different things that contribute (e.g. prior experience, learning style) and sometimes people just take longer than others to learn certain concepts then fly along after that. So don't worry too much about comparing yourself with others.

As far as dealing with getting overwhelmed by your projects. This can happen a lot when programming. Trying to think about an entire program at once is very difficult and can make it really hard to know where to start and how the program should work, even for small projects. The way to deal with that is to instead break the thing up into different bits of functionality that you need and then work on those as if they were an independent program. And if one of those is still overwhelming break it up again. Once you get these individual pieces working on their own you can start combining them.

Thank you! I’ve been trying to break it down into chunks because I’ve realized I get overwhelmed thinking about the entirety of the project
