I just need to vent a bit. I've been trying to get back into website design, working on a theme for WordPress first. It's been a couple of years since I've done this, and I'm overwhelmed by how much I've forgotten. A lot of it is coming back, but it's almost like looking at the code for the first time (the CSS, specifically; HTML is a little easier), and my brain tends to react to this feeling by making me sleepy as I'm trying to plow through it.

The whole reason I haven't done this in about two years has to do with my OCD, and I'm so sick of this disorder taking everything away from me...although some of that credit goes to panic disorder, too.

It doesn't help that I don't have my HTML editor anymore (I guess with all the Windows service packs and whatnot, the program just won't work anymore), and I can't afford the one I want (technically, there's two, but one's way more expensive than the other). I'm using EditPad, which is very good, but it doesn't have the advantages other site editors have. *Groan!*

To add to my frustrations, I have to weed out old code that isn't used anymore, and get familiar with anything new.

Thanks for listening--I just needed to take a break and let this out.

I'm sorry you're going through this Vent all you need to, and remember that it will get easier once you start doing it again
