Jessica - welcome to the board. I think you'll find a lot of caring people here and a lot of good advice.
I think you've been given a lot of good advice by the others.
Like 25 said, you can probably slow this down. Take the extra time if you get and use it to your advantage. This is an opportunity to become the best possible version of yourself.
For me, GAL'ing has been very helpful. It was best to engage in healthy activities that I felt made me a better person. I also enjoyed those activities and still do. I have met a lot of amazing people here on this board and outside the board along this journey.
Hang in there. You'll be off moderation soon if you are not already.
