I am new, not sure what to do?

Hi everyone I did my introduction and I will fill out my taper. Do people reply daily to introductions? I am very lost and alone, and could do with support, during the worst days of my life. It would be could if someone could please read my introduction and point me in the right direction. Thankyou
