Hi dosman123,
Must be difficult for you that your computer slows like that.
Wondering if it has access to enough memory / storage to work smoothly ?
You can check storage by clicking the little Apple icon at the top left of the menu bar / choose "About this Mac", / then "Storage".. You can now see how much free space the Hard Drive has to work with.
Sometimes there's a lot of unnecessary stuff collected in the Trash. You might want to "Empty the Bin" to free up storage,
Apple has more help online if you need to free up more storage space:

Hope this helps, (or helps rule out storage as the cause)
Cheers
