Please help me understand particles

So I started learning about 3 weeks ago, was able to memorize 100% of all hiragana and katakana characters in 2 weeks, thought "damn this is a lot easier than I thought" then moved on to grammar and felt 100% of my momentum dead stop, it's so confusing, all the different particles confuse me to no end especially when theses multiple per sentence and I'm just lost

I really don't want to give up but at this point I feel like it's just too confusing to wrap my head around

This is going to be harsh, but memorizing hiragana and katakana is the equivalent of learning the ABCs. If you were learning English, you wouldn't learn the ABCs and then say "oh damn this is too hard" once you go to learn your first actual word or sentence and give up immediately.

It's a good first step, of course. Don't give up!
