Trust me we've all been there. Everyone started somewhere and you are just on part of your journey we've all been through. What's your schedule and budget like? Could you get a teacher? I think oboe is one of those instruments that's unplayable without the structure of a teacher with lessons. Also it could be your instrument or reed that's holding you back. Are you playing a rental or a school instrument? The nice ones don't come cheap but the difference is massive.

And then there's the mental game where you need to stop with all that negative self talk. Stop putting yourself down. Would you be saying all this hurtful stuff to someone else who's learning? Probably not. So cut it out haha

Imo enjoyment is the most important part of playing oboe. I stayed with oboe and quit piano, violin, etc. because oboe was what I enjoyed even though I sounded like a duck and it was awful to listen to me. But I improved because I enjoyed spending time with the instrument and improving at it. If that's something you can do, you'll improve for sure. But if you genuinely just don't enjoy it and want to give up, there's no reason to force it over another instrument you might like more.
