Thanks for accepting my apology.
I've got to say that your last post was by far the most coherent I've read from you in a long time. You sounded far calmer, which I hope is a sign that it did help.
I think you were saying that you start to feel pretty overwhelmed when you try to think about your problems less randomly? That's actually where I use those Critical Thinking charts and formats. If I think about ALL of my problems, or even the really big ones, it's easy to feel as though I'm about to be hit by a tidal wave. So, I break them apart into more manageable chunks, and I concentrate on ONLY one at a time. That's something that I am very glad I learned, because it's probably one of the most useful skills I have. I think it could be very useful for you, too.
Right now, you've got a chance to learn some of these things, because you do live at home. (See? There are a few benefits to it ;-) even if it doesn't always feel that way.) Once you're out on your own, you won't have the luxury of thinking about your problems randomly. You'll have to think about them more carefully, in order to solve them, because they won't just go away and they probably won't just wait until you decide to do it.
Now it's time for me to go, and do some non-computer related things. Good luck, Matt.
