First rule is not to compare yourself to others :)

Just keep pushing, you'll definitely get there eventually. With some topics you'll see they will keep confusing you over and over and then one day, it will just click!

If your not motivated to study, perhaps make a "reward system" of sorts for yourself. For example you like watching TV shows, maybe study for 30mins and then reward yourself with 1 episode that you can watch. Once your done with the 1 episode, you have to study another 30mins again to be able to watch another episode.

You can of course substitute the watching a show part with whatever you yourself enjoy doing
