Some suggestions:

Do you like to play any sports? Usually there are centers or gyms that you can go to, to sign up! There are usually classes at gyms like aerobics which can be beneficial for our health and mind. (I actually need to do this one...sign up for a class)
Have you thought about reaching out to your local support group? I know in my city there is one, and if I'm not drowned in homework I intend on going this weekend. (I kind of got scared last weekend...but I think it will be helpful so I need to try)
If you're religious, you can find a local church. Generally the smaller ones are more accepting of people.

I know it is hard to move away from the main support group. When I moved 2 hours away from my home to go to college I had not put in the initiative to try and make friends. I felt alone, and scared and my behavior went out of control. I went into my sophomore year with no friends, and just a boyfriend. I spent that year feeling anxious and afraid of talking to new people, but I managed to do it. Now I've created a support system for myself.

I think when you're older though, and not in school it is harder. Yet, I still think its possible to find friends anywhere. I'm trying to stay positive. It isn't easy. Good luck ((Kdd))<33333 I think deep in your heart you know what you need to do.<33333
