Hi Ayla,
I think your name is pretty.
I've been off in my own world for a little while, but I think I'm coming back now. What I have learned about this board (and I think that this is a really healthy attitude) is that every one needs to take care of themselves first. You are doing that by this post - good for you. I was doing it by being kind of absent while I worked on my own stuff. So people will come and go here (sometimes telling you why they are coming and going, and sometimes not telling). Please don't assume that if you are looking for a reply, but the reply doesn't come that it has anything to do with your post or with you. It is more likely that it has to do with other things that are going on in people's lives.
Sometimes it is helpful in a post to have a specific question. That is easier to respond to than a general description. Things like "Does anyone else feel this way?", or "My friend just did this and I don't know how to respond?" or "I'm feeling lonely, what can I do to fix that?"
The nice thing about this board is that you can give it as much or as little time as seems good for you. The bad thing about this board is that other people will give it as much or as little time as seems good for them - so they may not meet your needs.
Since we are unreliable (by design)it is really important to have a social support network of real people in your area. I hope you have friends or family that you can count on.
Welcome!
