Hi Kyle.  Lots of us have the same problem you do.  So you're not alone.

I promise if you stick with it, you'll learn.

I was told that playing the guitar isn't a hobby or pastime, but a sport.

You have to put in the time and practice and don't give up.

I'm still very much a beginner, but I do see results.

My mindset went from "Never going to happen" to

"I can do this". 

BTW a big help with wrist and fingers was that I now place the guitar on my 

left leg (Like classical) and hold the neck up until it feels natural.  

Feels better for me.
