Welcome BonsaiGuy!

You have made some big and important changes in your life.

I agree with what Innerzone said about sleep. I have clinical depression and therefore need more sleep than a lot of other people. I tried to fight it in college because I wanted to pull all-nighters like the other students. But I have come to accept that's how it is.

I think going to support groups is a really good thing. I go to a support group for people with mental illnesses and find it incredibly helpful. I'm sure going to groups like NA and AA are helpful for you.

I don't know if you have time for more groups, but if you do you can look into dbsalliance.org and nami.org.
