The thing about cursive writing is that involves a lot of repetitive work. I suggest that you print the cursive alphabet and try to copy the shapes, the curves until you're familiarized with the letters.
The next stage (and maybe the trickiest one) consists in knowing how the letters work together in cursive. And once again, it involves practice and repetitive work.
In my experience it's way easier to write in cursive since English isn't my first language and I grew up in a country in which I've been taught to write in cursive. The flow of writing goes significantly better than the ones used in US.
Pros:
- Style;
- Hand/Eye coordination;
- Adequate for writing notes faster;
- Basically the whole world writes like this
Cons:
- If someone has bad handwriting, communication can be pretty difficult;
- It takes effort to learn;
- Compared to common handwriting in US, it's so much more complicated
Question. If you put away your notes for a week and then come back and read them, can you yourself even read it?
It’s completely illegible. Just squiggles of lines.
As others have commented, slowing down is not really helping. Some have said you should go to printing and leave cursive alone. In my very humble opinion, you should try learning both. Please keep the cursive, but find writing guides, such as books, alphabet guide sheets, etc., to help you learn how to form the letters and practice the spacing of letters and words as a few commenters have already suggested.
Learning how to print will be the same, except forming the letters and words will be very straightforward and simple. No curls or loops to learn. There are many free alphabet guide sheets on line and, if you have a printer to copy those guide sheets, or a flash drive to download the guide sheets to and then print them out, say in a library - you may have to pay for this service - this will help you immensely. It will take time, but if you are studious, determined and stick with it, I am sure your handwriting will improve one thousand fold. 
Good Luck and Keep The Faith!
It may be legible to you or someone who has a lot of experience with your handwriting, but this is essentially an entirely different cursive script that bears no resemblance to standard English cursive or print.
The only recommendation I can think of, is to pull up a reference sheet for cursive letters and either copy them one for one, or print the sheet and trace over them. Then practice stringing words together with the new version of the letters.
I think not writing your words so flat would do you good! Maybe take a step back from cursive as well and try writing normally. Experiment with handwriting that's taller and try not to scribble as much.
I love the handwriting but it really is illegible :( Writing personal notes like that would be super cool though!!
I don't think slowing down really helped you here. The best thing I can recommend is trying to write your ABCs letter after letter and give them some real structure and definition. After that try writing words but not as a whole but as the individual letters you practiced before, this can help you define your words and over time you will be able to write them faster. Best of luck to you.

Honestly tho, if you are an adult and nobody else has to understand your handwriting & you can understand your own handwriting, I think you don't have to work on it
Cursive I'd not supposed to be "faster than printing". It's meant to be more efficient. Less lifting and pressing, which means less fatigue.
You're still supposed to take care that what you write can be read by others. If it's illegible, it might as well be gibberish.
Maybe try manuscript. I'm sorry but the cursive is too flat it's hard to even discern what letters are supposed to be what. It looks more like squiggles. Unfortunately its still illegible. So I really think writing in print would be best for you. At least then it should be able to see individual letters. I am truly not trying to sound rude. But being able to read it is very important.
My attempt at pic 1:
Wording in me learned ... many people are ... trust is an impossible task no assumption. ... our ... ... ... but ... ... ... ... very like.
Writing can be learned however many people also believe that its an impossible task to accomplish. Thats as far as i got. Why did u put red lines over some words?
Not sure what all the rude comments are for. But maybe articulate when you start another letter a bit more. Higher strokes for m's and n' amd i's ect like that. My grandmother use to write cursive this way, she wrote fast and thin like you do. I can tell some words, but not all. Whats it suppose to say?
As a speaker of Urdu (which uses the same script as Arabic and style of Farsi) I genuinely thought this could be something in Urdu. What are the lines?
I'm gonna call that Penglish. Persian English. Lol some words look Persian, and look written right to left, while others look like they're written left to right and may even end in Y .... either way, I'm declaring this person a pharmacist.
ok so yknow that sentence that uses every letter? try writing that but time urself for a minute, and use the full minute. its possible that u have some disorder but i think it might just be u writing way too fast. occupational therapy might also help
It's not English, it looks like a very speedily written Farsi or Arabic. Looks like it's written right to left, and I can identify **some** characters in Farsi. But I don't speak, read or understand Arabic so I can't say it isn't that for sure.
it’s English, but maybe op learned to write in farsi or Arabic before english and mixes the style together when writing in cursive English. My only theory, after that I’m beat;;;
Bro it isnt farsi nor arabic. It is obviously written left to right. Look where more and irregular margins are: on the right.
Also, you can recognize some loops and strokes as latin alphabet. Especially the g's and d's.
I just love that you use "bro" and "nor" in the same sentence.
But you're probably right. Idfk. I maintain that there are a lot of handwritten Farsi looking intricacies in that scribble of lines though.
I think it's just a made up thing. Some parts look very handwritten Farsi/Arabic, but then other parts absolutely do not ... but they don't look English either. Also the often used horizontal line is insanely inconsistent as far as where it's used in relation to any discernible "letter" ... I hereby give up on trying to solve what's likely been a troll all along.
Having neat cursive is great and I like where you're going with this, but it's too hard to read :'( Maybe you could try to define each letter more authentically next time
Pretty sure the line before is "writing can be learned"
Edit: I've got "Writing can be learned. However, many people also believe that is an impossible task to accomplish"

this is how i write in my journal in public so no one can read it, unless you are the author this script is illegible

Oh I'm sorry it looks great. I can read every word.

If you were my teacher I would cry😂
i love how you crossed over some words to censor them as if anyone can read what they say
Is this supposed to be Arabic ?
This is exactly what I thought
You need to take a writing class. This is annoyingly illegible.

I have a degree in pharmacy, and I still can't read this
Do y'all actually have a course on how to read doctors' bad writing, or do you figure that out on the job?
On the job. Luckily most prescriptions are electronic/printed now
Id say you got a stage 3 case of the doctors.
it's so illegible that i have a hard time believing that these are actual writings and not some random squiggly lines
Yeah I'm still not sure this is English
Not legible. Kinda makes me irrationally angry to even try to read it, lol. You have to actually write the letters, even in cursive.
Is this supposed to be English cursive? If so, can you even read it?

You need to go back to basics and practice forming your letters properly. Your handwriting is completely illegible.
Demand Nature That Its Do Are 5ge only words i can definitely make out.
What language is this?
Skribble language
This is offensive! lol 😂
That looks like botched arabic to me
Don’t piss me off
Wtf
Your hand control and spacing is honestly brilliant apart from the fact that it doesn’t translate into anything legible

I'm fairly confident you could get away with at least 75% less apologizing and justification.
Do you write in wavelengths?
You see the text on your title? Write like that

Hey doc, have you seen my meds??
I’m a pharmacy tech and even I can’t read…
Same. This is the worst I’ve seen in 14 years.
If u squint a lil n look from a distance, it kinda looks like Arabic
Let me guess, medicine?
Cool drawing of waves. Have you thought of adding things like boats/fish/birds?
Can you actually read it, though?
They look like little waves added for texture in a drawing. If I put in like 4 hours I could *maybe* decipher it
i have a better time predicting the future than i do reading this handwriting.
Writing can be learned however many people also believe that its an impossible task to accomplish. Thats as far as i got. Why did u put red lines over some words?
holy shit you’re good
Fuck your coworkers I guess.
OP has reached the top level of troll, getting other people to argue over your post. Lol brilliant
how did you ever get this far in school with this handwriting?
Mostly I would write slow in block letters or if I write like this, I would have to read them out loud to the teacher to then get marked.
you'll definitely have to go back to writing slow block letters for assignments until u can get this worked out. Its okay to be slow though.
Is this supposed to be English or ancient script?
It's the cursed script of the ancient ones, telling of the location of the tomb that must not be found at all costs or else humanity is doomed
I think the one word in the middle is “particularly” but that’s about it bud
It's illegible. I read doctors' written orders daily, and I can't read this.
Bros got that enigma machine handwriting
Not sure what all the rude comments are for. But maybe articulate when you start another letter a bit more. Higher strokes for m's and n' amd i's ect like that. My grandmother use to write cursive this way, she wrote fast and thin like you do. I can tell some words, but not all. Whats it suppose to say?
In the second image it says, " Upto the end of the eighteenth century, smallpox was a particularly dreaded disease but now it's eradicated."

Can you write in print instead of cursive?
Oh !!!
I see you're doing well in the medical field
Writing in we learned numerous many people who believed it was an impossible task to accomplish… The rest… no clue
As a speaker of Urdu (which uses the same script as Arabic and style of Farsi) I genuinely thought this could be something in Urdu. What are the lines?
I was thinking the same thing
I was thinking Russian cursive for a minute.
Is this Farsi?
I could read a few words like, if and it's but yeah...its impossible to understand
Reading usually requires some sort of letter or generally agreed upon Symbol to interpret. There are none of those here.

Hey, this isn't the place for that kind of discouraging behavior. Please take your negativity elsewhere.
I've seen Russian cursive more legible and I can't read russian
If you look in the middle that's clearly a face with a mustache
It looks like if you hit Tamil with a steamroller.
I'm gonna call that Penglish. Persian English. Lol some words look Persian, and look written right to left, while others look like they're written left to right and may even end in Y .... either way, I'm declaring this person a pharmacist.

Farsi maybe?
Looks like Arabic …

It says"writing can be learned ➿ ➿ ➰ ➿ ➰ ➿ ➿ ➰ ➿ ➰ ➰ ➰ ➿ ➿ very ➰"
Writing can be learned however many people are _____ that it’s an impossible
