Hey Monica! Welcome to Susans! I'm around your same age(22) so I could relate to a lot of what you said.
There is a wealth of information on the forums. You're definatly started in the right direction! I encourage you to keep talking about how you feel in a safe place (the forums are GREAT for that). It's been my experience that finding a safe place has been a good starting point. After that, everything else sort of "clicks."
Keep posting here! If one person can't answer a specific question, there are hundreds more that can.
It's good to see you, and keep coming back!
