Welcome to this great GAME Cure bud,
my only piece of advice is, enjoy it for what it really is, a game.
Most of the time its fantastic but at times , yes it will get you down if you let it.
The forums are loaded with a lot of great instruction and information to help you along the way and I think its Garypinhunter as a fantstic website set up which will improve your game no end ;-)
Have fun, keep em straight and Good Luck on your journey.
