I'm new at this. Don't know much

It sounds tough that you are pretty much a loner. Would you like to tell us more about what that looks like for you at the moment?
Side by Side is a mental health support community run by Mind, the UK's leading mental health charity. You can post and get responses there just like you can here.
Additionally, Supportline provides confidential emotional support to anyone about anything. Samaritans are another listening service you could try.
There are always people out there willing to chat, listen, or make friends.
