I've been told this kind of problem is VERY common, and that overall I am high functioning. It's just annoying that these little things seem to defy fixing. I feel like I'm being nibbled to death by piranhas over here. Very very slowly.

Another neat analogy is Starfleet vs The Borg and other threats in Star Trek. You can take out one cube, Unimatrix Zero just builds more. You can blow up Unimatrix Zero, but now there's nothing to keep the Romulans in check. I need a quantum leap forward in technology or a major strategic victory I can build on, you see? But how..?
