Trying to pay off debts

I'm paying 7638 a month, but still struggling to pay off loans and credit cards. I'm overwhelmed by the amount I owe and the interest rates. I've been making payments, but it's taking a long time to pay off the principal amounts.

What I wish I knew
"I wish I had budgeted more carefully and avoided taking on so much debt in the first place."
If I could tell you one thing
"Make a budget and prioritize debt repayment. Don't take on more debt than you can handle."
