First, I highly suggest getting rid of the "making up for lost time" mentality.
While 13 is a little late to start pitching, take your time and make sure each practice, each drill is objective driven. You and your DD must know exactly why you are doing the drills you do, and make each pitch count. You shouldn't try to aim for 100 or 150 a day. You should aim for gradual progress and as others have said, take a break if you notice there is regression from practice to practice.
When my DD first started pitching about a year ago, one thing I heard many say is that this is a marathon, not a sprint. Each practice, frustrating pulling my hair out moment, I realize that is the key. Got to be patient, it will come, but only if you can endure. Good luck!
