So when do I start?

Apologies if this post is a obvious answer but I'm pretty frustrated.

Ive been studying japanese for about a week now and I have hiragana and katakana down for the most part. I started doing Wani Kani as well but its super slow and they only let me do so much a day.

So I watched some videos on anki saying its the best thing since sliced bread for language learning and after downloading the Kaishi 1.5k deck and trying it for a few days i feel so demotivated.

Like i know absolutely nothing, i can read some words that have kana but the kanji characters its a guessing game every time. I'm at 10 words a day, and some days i throw my head at the wall until i remember everything but its exhausting and makes me not want to do it the next day as it takes so long to remember anything, im not sure im even remembering anything it feels like its just trial and error until i get through the deck.

Should i wait to use anki until I have down other japanese learning like immersion, more wani kani, graded readers, etc?

Sorry for the rant im just feeling so hopeless and its only week one. Was feeling good getting through the kana, now i see why people put off learning kanji
