Hi Amanda, Welcome to the other side. I can't help with the support groups in your area. I'm on the east side of the state but I can help a bit with the exercise. Walking is the best thing you can do for self right now. I know you feel like laying down a lot right now but try to get up & at least walk around in the house very often. If the weather straightens out & gets a bit warmer, walk outside. Just be sure not to go too far away from home as you will have to get back too. You will be surprised how quickly you get tired. Try to walk a couple miles each day if possible. Walking steps is also good. Dixie
