Scott,
Your post sounds eerily similar to my early thoughts and posts. I had a hard time early on, but looking back, I agree with the advice from fish. Go after it, stay and stay positive. Accept help from the family. My kids are a bit older, but I encouraged them to keep on with their lives as they supported me and we are close than ever. Hard to know your professional situation, but I am sure that will work itself out.
May be hard to do, but focus on getting better and you will retain your Superman title.
Best wishes.
