Marilia, don't give up! Bear in mind that a lot of developers (me included) had to study a 4 years bachelor degree to "start" working on the area, and after 7 years of experience, sometimes I still think "Am I smart enough to learn this?".
Working as a SE (Software Engineer) for me is amazing, being able to have a "problem solve" mind help me in different areas, not only on work. And a "problem solve" mind is something that can be trained, our brain is an amazing machine.
I will give you some links here that can give you some help.
First, it is good to understand how your brain works, that will help you to understand that new things sometimes takes time to be learned, not because you are not "smart enough", just because it is how our brain works, specially when you go from one are to other very different, for this, I recommend you to do a course called "Learning how to learn:, and it is for free: coursera.org/learn/learning-how-to...
Second, a bootcamp that I did for a while and also saw a bunch of very "famous" devs that did something similar that you are doing, change career and was able to get jobs on Spotify, Google, Amazon, and the best part? It is also free! freecodecamp.org/
Third, since you might not have the "path" that usually a graduation would give to learn stuff, you can take a look on this website that shows what you need to learn for each area that you can work as a web developer. roadmap.sh, I don't know if there is a lot of information for WEB3, but definitely has a lot of information for WEB2. It might give you some ideas on what to learn next.
Thank you for sharing all of these resources with me Cicero!
Looking at the Frontend and Backend roadmaps, that's intense!! It's a lot to learn!

Really appreciate you for telling me this! I've heard it time and time again that this is all about training my brain how to think differently, and that it'll just take time. Will definitely check out that course on Coursera
