As the title states, I've been feeling extremely overwhelmed, frustrated, and stressed out as a new coder.
I'm currently in a masters program where I absolutely must learn things like web development, Java, and Python.
While I feel as if I'm making okay-ish progress, I cant help but feel so envious and so overwhelmed with anxiety and stress because of how much I have to learn. I feel like everytime I learn something new, it's like I'm constantly forced to then learn something new again immediately after. I feel like I never have enough time in the day to really understand a lot of concepts. Of course it doesnt help that I'm also on a time crunch (deadlines) but I just feel like I'm always going to have this feeling of never being able to really catch up with my peers or with other developers.
There are so many new frameworks and updates. So much documentation to read though. I wonder if this is a career field for me as I tend to take longer to really understand things. I just started to learn about Bootstrap and felt pretty good about it until I then realized I had to learn back-end development using Flask (this was for a project) and felt not so good right after. I struggle a lot with OOP concepts still so the idea of having to learn Flask and reviewing Python was not so encouraging.
I'd love some tips or words of encouragement. I guess I just feel so down on my luck that it's hard to think straight (and code!).
