This community helped me more than I expected after 17 years as a bookkeeper

I posted here 18 weeks ago when I was panicking about my layoff as a bookkeeper. I have read a lot of threads here and could not find my exact situation. I feel calmer and more organised now. What would help newcomers most?

Thanks for writing this out. I went through something close to it 11 months ago, and it settled down once I kept a simple log of every call and form.
