Hello NewDawning.
I just had a quick check of the statistics at the bottom of the first page in the forums. There are 169,000 people signed up to SR and no doubt many lurkers. Just now nearly 500 were looking at this sub-section of the forum (again the numbers are on the front page). As Dee said, you are never alone on this forum and that means in terms of numbers AND in terms of folk who can truly empathise with you.
Welcome!
