Hello there!
I totally hear what you mean about trying to find people for support, I've had similar problems and am a bit leery when people offer support. I'm 22, will be 23 this year and am new to this site, which makes this one of my first posts!! yay! but anyway, I'm always looking for a buddy that shares my goals/challenges and so feel free to drop me a line! But I live in Virginia...
anyway best of luck! I know you'll succeed

And congrats on the achievements already!!
