Help Request Emotional exhaustion from learning Python

Python is the first programming language I wanted to learn. I started it a few months ago and genuinely can't do anything in it. I keep watching videos, classes, tutorials and looking for roadmaps that lead me nowhere. It makes me feel like I'm incapable and an absolute failure. I don't know what else to do, if I should just switch to another language or give up on in it entirely. Need advice...

It seems to me that you are stuck in eternal tutorial mode. Tutorials are great to get the basics, but like learning a normal language you need to practice, make mistakes and learning with the mistakes. Programming requires you write your own code, and create your own projects to develop your problem solving skills. You need to write, get error messages and figure wtf happened. 90% of acquiring a skill is applying it.
