Okay. So many things here.

Let me just say you have the ADHD and also the perimenopause (which is doubly annoying because everyone, specifically doctors, act like you are crazy for being bothered by perimenopause, but speaking personally, perimenopause has destroyed my ability to concentrate, feel good, and feel any sort of love toward my own body, which I simply perceive is screwing me over with this hormonal bullshit), and also you are a working single parent trying to keep your livelihood and you and your daughter's lives in order. That is a LOT.

Also, fuck the auto-correct here that wants to tell me perimenopause is not spelled right or is not even a word or some such? Yeah, get in line behind all my doctors, auto-correct, they've never heard of it either.

Let me just say I used to be good at setting up my own blog and once back in the annals of time I actually cracked open my husband's desktop and installed some sort of fricking circuit board or something to boost our connectivity or something. Without a manual. What was the secret? I had no kids and fewer worries, and I had a lot more time. Tech takes enormous amounts of "dick around and try it" time, which, let's be honest here, is why young men (and some young women too of course) tend to be best at tech. They HAVE the time.

I have no answers or help for you. Just wanted to say, emphatically, YOU ARE NOT ALONE. YOU ARE NOT WRONG. Just do the best you can do. Keep asking questions, and then use the one good feature of tech, which is to Google any specific tech problem and kind of find an answer, sometimes. Good luck.
