Yay me, because I just finished learning my first barre chord song, Back Home Again, which includes F#m and B, and a quick chord change between them in the bridge.

Sharing to offer encouragement -- it is possible to get this. For me, it required some breaking of rules (putting my barre finger down last was key) and then practicing with a song with barre chords in it that I love and ached to be able to play, and then playing along with one of John Denver's live album versions to learn it -- so that, yes, full confession -- I could pretend I was on stage backing him up, just for some extra spice.

Good motivation. Maybe someday I'll be good enough to play the guitar licks on Rocky Mountain High...

But for now, yay me and yay all of us for being on this crazy path.
