sorry to hear that :( i made very slow progress initially but then (courtesy of someone on 365, frank hymus i think) i found scott kelby & matt kloskowski's book (for elements 13 but i think they keep updating them) and that made all the difference ... just sayin'! so these days i use elements more and more, and am comfortable faffing about and trying stuff out because i have a better grounding in how it works (some of the time!)
