[QUOTE="Cowboyjim, post: 278060, member: 23128"] I think that most of us likely go through this period of frustration if not worse. And I still have times when I feel like giving up. But with support and little victories progress will come... Though it is also like a religion where you think everyone else are "unbelievers" full of the wrong stereotype impressions of what DM is and yet still ready to dispense advice and experiences.... yawn... it is or can be a lonelier life... the answer is simple tho. Persistence. I was impatient for progress maybe even a solution and got very cross. But I have never given up. It is I think appropriate to get a new balance. Try to look at it longer term. You WILL succeed but it may take a year before you really can look back and wonder why you got the way you are now. I call it the tyranny of numbers. Stupid digits on a tiny screen ruling our lives and bring joy or misery. This is of course nonsense. It is in our heads, it is a state of mind. And therein lies the answer to your frustration. Keep trying and maybe different tacks are needed. Maybe you simply need to get organised and do a table and keep filling it in day by day for a month say and be detached a bit more. Go back and revise based on the trends that will appear... it probably needs a different menu or a change in relative amounts. And you can always put what you do up here for feedback. All the best... ! 8) [/QUOTE]
