It may seem complicated at first, but soon you'll get used to it and it'll be simple. It's like learning how to ride a bike, if you know what I mean. You should maybe take a look at the links suggested by "chillly," maybe that will help.
Looking at your edits, I noticed you've been editing with Potlatch 1.4, but there's a newer version of Potlatch (Potlatch 2) that's way easier to use and learn. It's also faster and has less bugs/glitches than Potlatch 1. To use it, move your mouse over the edit button (don't click on it) and a menu will appear. On that menu, select "Edit with Potlatch 2 (in-browser editor)." You can set P2 as your default editor when you click the edit button in your user preferences.

Practice make perfect. You’ll find things easier as you put more stuff in.

Help is always available, just as. You can contact local mappers, look in the wiki osm.wiki/Beginners%27_guide , ask on IRC irc://irc.oftc.net/osm, join a mailing list osm.wiki/Mailing_lists or use the Help Centre http://help.openstreetmap.org/
