"I feel as if everything around me is advancing and I'm standing still"

I am new to the program. In everything I give thanks. I've made it this far. 
For years I've been dealing with depression, anxiety, insomnia, and compulsiveness. I take medications. 
However, I feel as if everything around me is advancing and I'm standing still. It's frustrating to say the least, because I know I've got what it takes to do better. 
I just don't know how to work it out. I'm extremely anxious about being this open. 
Slowly navigating the site and becoming familiar with the program. Hence, I'm doing this exercise on day five.
