Just wanted to say that I really appreciate the comments on Pointers/Amnesis. It's fun to write on its own, but positive feedback makes it even better to work on and makes me smile. Thank you!

I love the Coping Skills Compendium! Especially the stuff on anxiety, which I have. "Remember that all emotions are temporary" is something my mom has always told me. The journal stuff seems neat too, I might start a journal soon, I honestly need somewhere to rant so it probably will be filled with negativity :P

Ranting/venting can be a great use of a journal. It's got to come out somewhere! I find it helps most to follow heavy vents with something positive/optimistic- in my experience, it helps balance out the negativity and levels out my perspective on things. Even "I'm still alive and this will pass" counts.

And I'm glad the compendium helps! Anxiety can be really frustrating to deal with sometimes- I've had more trouble with it than I did with depression. Something my therapist told me was that some anxiety is "top-down" (thoughts -> body) and some is "bottom-up" (body -> thoughts), and it helps more to target the source. Never occurred to me that there was a difference before then.

Finally got a chance to poke through Amnesis and I'm really enjoying it! My favorite bit so far is the dishwashing poem, especially the part about being battered by cardboard, but that could be the just-moved-again talking. :) Looking forward to learning more!

I read the Iliad a few times, and "unlike the Iliad I'm actually considerate of your time." got a chuckle out of me. Spot on.

I promise I like the Iliad, I just enjoy it for all the wrong reasons. Happy to get a laugh :D
You know your stylesheet is ancient when you make a change and EVERYTHING BREAKS in ways you didn't think it would, all because of one line you wrote over a year ago. XD I think it's mostly fixed now.

Had to mass-update pages so the back to top button works as intended with the new style- found out I have 117 pages!
