What is with me lately feeling sorry for myself so much lately? It's downright lame is what it is, but realizing that I'm upset with myself just upsets me more. I've got to break this cycle somehow. Maybe I'm just low on sleep. I'll probably be fine once I'm fully awake. Sleepiness usually makes me realize how disappointed I am

Give it time... you can't expect to do everything right the first time around... you'll get into the groove and it'll be like second nature.

I'm starting to slip back toward considering getting some kind of editing-related degree. Professional help may be just what I need to really start to picture some of these concepts and effects and whatnot. I haven't completely decided yet though, because I have a natural tendency to shy away from trying to make a career of a hobby. It just seems like a weird thing to do to me. I'm probably weird for thinking this, but it seems like hobbies should be drastically different from one's occupation.It depends. Some people may not like the pressure of doing their hobby as their job while others excel at it

Aww kitkat, you need to give yourself some time to adjust to your new responsibilities at work. There is always a learning curve that comes with promotions and the like, and you gotta stop being so overcritical of yourself and take the time to get used to new things. You'll get the hang of it. (and if you're worried about closing in the jewelry department, just ask someone if there is anything special you need to do

On the subject of the ADD: maybe medication is something you should consider trying. When I was 8 I was diagnosed with ADD. It's not a severe case by any means, but it was enough that it had started to make it difficult for me to concentrate at all in class, and my teacher thought I was a "delinquent" (which is ridiculous if you knew me at all). Anyhow, I wasn't a big fan of going on meds, because it made me feel like I was being singled out in a bad way, but I remember my mom telling me what a difference they made in my behavior. I took ritalin for quite a few years before I was able to learn how to focus myself enough to go off of it, and even now I still have to fight ADD impulses. Anyway, that's my two cents on that subject.
