I can't do this. I don't know how to do this. I haven't learned this, and I've no time to figure it out. I'm in over my head, and out of my league. I shouldn't be here.

I'm going to be sick...

[Update 01:58am]: I started getting somewhere in the Ada program. My problems there had been pointer-related, but Ada's a much more beautiful language than C, which here means she gave me meaningful-enough error messages that I could Google what I was doing wrong. I'm not *sure* that I'm doing things right, but it compiles, and Ada won't compile unless she's happy. C still sucks. But I think I may go to bed.

Sometimes people need to take a break, from everything.
It's nearly impossible to accomplish anything when you're in the state of mind of "I can't do this", or something equally as self defeating.
Take a long hot shower, turn off your cellphone (if applicable), take a long nap, read a story that you've always liked, have a walk, go to a gym etc etc.. When you get back you'll feel 'fresh' to do anything. (Shower then nap works wonders for me :) )
You're not a machine hun, we're all human.. as much as people like to think we are not.
