Then quit. Nobody is forcing you to be a programmer when you clearly hate it and don't have any talent for it. Despite what "for Dummies" books say, not everyone can be a programmer. There's nothing wrong with not getting it, it just means that programming isn't for you.

Of course, all of that is assuming that you weren't exaggerating. It's harder at first, and dedication is required to excel as a programmer. You'll regularly be frustrated and always be confused, that's simply how it is in our field. Programming is very hard, period.
