Beginning My Journey Back to Faith: Advice for a New Start

Assalamualaikum wa rahmatullahi wa barakatuh, dear brothers and sisters. I'm hoping to share a bit of my story and ask for your kind advice. By the grace of Allah, my heart has been turning towards embracing Islam fully, including wearing the hijab, but I'm facing some internal struggles that hold me back. My situation is a little complex. On paper, I am Muslim, but I wasn't raised in a practising household. I have zero practical experience. This has led me to a heavy worry: Does this background make me considered an apostate? Is the door still open for someone like me to return sincerely and begin practising? My knowledge is mostly theoretical-some rulings and historical facts-but I don't know the first thing about performing the daily Salah. Past negative experiences with religion have also left me with some anxiety, making it very difficult for me to approach people in my local community for help. The male relatives or elders in my family aren't practising either, so I can't turn to them. It all just feels like a massive mountain to climb. There's so much to learn, and as an adult woman, I'm scared of being judged for not knowing the fundamentals that many learn as children. Has anyone else walked this path? How did you begin learning about Islam from absolute scratch as an adult? Any guidance, comforting words, or recommendations for reliable resources would be such a blessing. Jazakum Allahu khayran.
