Thank you to everyone who answered my questions - any advice?

I wanted to thank the people who gave me practical advice. I do not usually post, so bear with me. I feel calmer and more organised now. What would help newcomers most?

Thanks for writing this out. I went through something close to it 13 months ago, and it got easier once I kept a simple log of every call and form.

We all started with a panicked question. Thank you for coming back with an update.
