VERY good advice, Perna, thank you, and too true--I really do have to be emotionally and intellectually invested in something before I can concentrate on it, but the bigger issue is whether or not I feel as though I CAN do it... whether it's something I'm good at and have the possibility of accomplishing. Most of the time I just get overwhelmed. ^.^ My learning style is mostly visual, which is why math is so difficult for me.

Bloo, tell your best friend she rocks. I needed to hear that quote. Sometimes I worry that I'll go to the doc for nothing and just be left with "it's your own fault/problem". Either way, though, I need to have SOMETHING to go on.

And I DID have a wonderful (that's an understatement, actually) day today, so THERE!!
