You've come to the right place. This is a very supportive online group.

I feel lonely all the time. I have no family support and only one friend -- who lives 3000 miles away, so our relationship is exclusively via email. I am an extreme introvert, so it's very difficult and sometimes impossible to go out and be with people. I recently forced myself to sign up for a community night class on web authoring which I'm extremely interested in. However, it's a struggle each and every class night to go. Everything in me wants to stay home, safe in my apartment. But I've managed to make every class so far just by giving myself permission to leave early if I become too anxious. And so far I've made it to the bitter end. Didn't mean to go on about that. There are still five weeks to go, so it remains to be seen whether I see it to completion.
