I know you're going to get about a million replies to your note and I can tell you now that there will be one key message. Practice practice practice!!!
Seriously, there is nothing more frustrating than trying to learn to play guitar, but as you seem to have realised, it is soooooo worth it.
Keep doing what you're doing. Practice as much as you possibly can and don't get dis-heartened. When I was learning I got to the point where I thought I'd never be able to play anything and then suddenly, bang! A tune came out of nowhere. You'll experience that too, just be patient. There will be loads of milestones that you'll pass as you learn. Nailing that chord change, getting a new strum pattern down, playing your first entire song. Then as you progress, getting into your barre chords, singing along with the guitar, playing without looking. Believe me, none of this will be too far away, just don't try to run before you can walk and keep at it. Everyone on here has either gone through or is going through what you are at the moment. And absolutely everyone on here is still trying to learn something to do with playing. That's what makes it so great!
But if support and helpful advice is what you need then one thing's guaranteed: You're in the right place for it.
Good luck!!
