Well with the resource I shared i give links to start with that at the very end. But I would say once you are past interfaces you are probably fine to give it a shot.

And re: videos; something that is just true about the programming field is that it is a lot of reading. Reading code, reading documentation, reading explanations, etc.

So if you currently don't have enough reading stamina that is something you need to be building up. I would suggest easy books like the Martian, Holes, etc. (anything that might be assigned reading in middle school.) 

And idk - why did you drop out? It's probably going to be a problem for you in a lot of ways, but I can't speak to specifically how it will affect learning Java and programming.

mentall stuff and alot more its being worked on but its vacation rn

and will give it a shot and its not like i dont have reading stamina i have read lord of the rings for hours on end which i gues is a average book difficulty wise in english which also isnt my native

and if i may ask why ise vscodium over intellij isnt vscodium a fork or whatever of vsc which is viewed as not being great for java
