I've lost my skills in programming?

I am getting really angry. What is happening to me?

I am literally getting worst at programming. When I was a beginner I could solve any problem those "coding challenge" websites, but now I simply can't. I haven't stopped coding since then, I was doing it every single day and I still got worse. Maybe I am just overcomplicating things when programming.

I feel like the thousands of free (not good quality) tutorials that I watched online are now showing their flaws. I just have piles of trash "programming knowledge" in my head that I don't know how to clean or replace.

How do I relearn programming? Relearn it in a way that I don't have to watch or read tutorials with the stuff I already know. Cuz I seriously can't watch another video of someone explaining what a variable or function is.

Do I just have to go heads first and it will all just "fit in place"? I will finally become a good and confident programmer one day?

I wanted to share this because I don't want someone wasting two years learning programming and get to the state that I am in. :(

If someone had this problem before or has advice to get back on track please reply.
