This isn't really advice, but I just want to say I sympathize. I struggled quite a lot in learning C and C++ back in school. The thing that wound up helping most was to pick one or two projects that I actually wanted the results of (in my case, software to resurrect an old pen-plotter). That kept me going when other tasks like following along to "blink the LED on Arduino" tutorials just left me languishing.
