As far as lonely. Yes, by all means come to SR, and post. Read threads and post. Even if you don't feel you have much to share as far as experience, post encouragement or a thank you, etc. Just reading can feel very isolating, but reaching out to be "part of", makes a huge difference.
I need to add "thirsty" to my HALTT. and I mean just plain old garden variety thirsty. sometimes I need a glass of water.
