This is all too much for me. [View all]

I can't anymore...

I just can't...

Do you understand how difficult it is for me, after typing out a long post, to go back and correct every time I typed "i" instead of the word "I"? For example, correcting "i went to the store" corrected to "I went to the store".

And sometimes I have to make this correction 5 or 6 times! Do you have any idea how much of my day that eats up?

How do people deal with this problem? How do you get through this? Therapy?

Maybe that's the answer...therapy.

I just can't bear this burden anymore.

No person should be subject to this kind of stress.
