Oh, thank God, someone wrote back. Thank you, Snoozy! I'm learning about "second language acquisition," and one of the (obvious) theories, is that when learners feel tense, anxious, nervous, worried, or concerned, etc., they can't perform. Duh. I guess those of us with emotional issues (particularly anxiety/stress), performance relates to a lot of areas: job interviews, conflicts in the neighborhood, speeches ... papers, etc. I just HATE this feeling of always being on the edge. Honestly, like I'm going to slip over the abyss and there's no one I can call upon to help me through (or who will give me a hand). And I'm also always looking for signs of grandiose thinking/mania. Ugh. It's so rotten to be saddled with the adjustment problems we've had in this life, but so helpful to share those struggles/concerns (and occasional success stories) with friends on chat-boards such as this.
I chuckled when I got to your comments on hitting the "submit your post" button. Same thing here, my friend.
Thanks Snooze. Go good being in touch.
