Hi Abandoned and welcome to the site. Whilst you will never get abandoned here, this is a quiet forum used to discuss the latest research articles etc. If you copy and paste your post to the Family and Friends Forum you will get a lot of feedback and support there.
Check out the Group schedule as well – there is a friends and family Group on a Tuesday evening (UK time) and other all members welcome groups as well. A New members group is running as I type this. Hopefully I will meet you in a group soon and look forward to seeing you progress with the support that you can get in the Family Forum.
