@acromegaly: No problem, I appreciate your support. I think a lot of the time, the things that we feel the need to help others the most with is often what we need the most help with, and that the only way to deal with them is to face them straight on, as much as it hurts. I know that when I get involved in internet forums, and especially when I start trying to give advice on internet forums, it's usually from a place of pain, and I am running from something in an attempt to save my-self by feeling like I helped another person by telling them what to do, rather than face my own fears.
It's never worked out for me to do that, perhaps you are different. Regardless, I appreciate that you care, no matter where it comes from, and best of luck.
