Something about my brain is refusing to accept switching sides. I forget which one I'm supposed to do every time. I know practice makes perfect but it's gonna take a lot of practice to make up for my bonkers brain.

It will make a big difference if you learn to “read” your knitting so you don’t have to try to remember. For a standard ribbing, if the stitch you are about to work is in a columns of V’s, you knit it. Otherwise you purl. Of course, that probably doesn’t help much with the setup row…
