Gymnastics should be fun. Anything athletic should be because aerobic exercise releases endorphins that make you feel better. You don't sound like this is fun for you, but a very competitive type of activity instead.
I think you should try something else - dance, martial arts, another kind of sport, whatever appeals to you.
You have had injuries, and you know that is why you aren't doing as well as you expect. There is really nothing you can do to change that. You may even make things worse if you push yourself too hard. If you get into something different, you may not feel the same dissappointment in your achievement, but still enjoy the activity.
I do tai chi, which is a martial arts form. The first thing they teach you is to realize that you will not ever be perfect, and to relax and allow yourself to be imperfect. ]
