Aww, . You're sweet.

You'll get through this. Honest. And then you can stick around and

try to help other people. It's the " pay it forward plan " ! ;~)

Get yourself to feeling better, and then it sounds to me like you

need to figure out a way to make some nearby friends. Perhaps you

could do some investigating in your spare time now to see what

activities there are near you that might get you hooked up with some

folks who share your interests and enthusiasms...
