"Barmy" must be Oz-speak for "batty"!
Wendy, you've got a big heart. It's natural for us to be concerned, as MOS notes above. I've also wondered about some who aren't here anymore. Last week, though, I had a good reminder that life goes on in a healthy way for some fellow journeyers when a classmate we'd not seen in months posted a holiday greeting to let us know she's well, sober, enjoying her career and -- importantly -- being a fully present mom to two little ones who keep her plenty busy.
For some, SR fulfills its potential in that way. It allows them to move forward living life to its fullest.
