Hey @Kiko Welcome

@Kiko It takes time to navigate the forums. A little tip. The @ bring a dropdown, that way you can tag anyone you would like to talk to.
Yes, sometimes it is too much for one person, after a lifetime of pain and struggles. All we can do is support each other as best we can.
We are here to do that for you. 💙💙💙
