This community helped me more than I expected (update)

I wanted to thank the people who gave me practical advice. I have read a lot of threads here and could not find my exact situation. I am still searching but I have a plan. What would help newcomers most?

Thanks for writing this out. I went through something close to it last year, and it settled down 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.
