Cannot update or install anything with pip, SSL error

Hi everyone, this is my first time posting on here and I really need help with this problem. I've had Python and pip on my PC since I got it about a year ago and never really used pip that much until recently. I'm working on a project with my friend in PyCharm and I need to install some requirements for this project but every time I try to install them or do anything with pip I get this message:

It doesn't matter what I try to do with pip, the SSL error comes up every time. I can't even update or upgrade it. Yesterday I uninstalled my older versions of Python and downloaded 3.7 and 3.6.6 and downloaded pip with them, it did nothing. I have tried every solution I could find and nothing works. I don't know what happened or why pip isn't working correctly. If you have something I can try I would greatly appreciate it!
