Getting credit cards is such a stress

I have been in America for almost 5 years. I'm 22 years old and just got on my own since I moved out here, as my family all stayed back to my country Estonia. I didn't realize that getting my credit cards would be such a stress and it got out of hand and I can't catch up. My credit is messed up and I can't do anything. Please give me a chance to be able to pay off my credit cards and make payments for the debt consolidation so that I can start over and build up my credit for successful future.
