Welcome to PC. It sounds to me like you feel you are in a catch 22 situation at times no?

I have some ideas for you that may or may not work in your lifestyle. Are you affiliated with any churches in your area? If so, maybe going to church and becoming involved would help you to network and meet new folks.

Another idea is to volunteer your time to a worthy cause. There are tons of agencies out there that need volunteers and are happy to get whatever time and effort you can give them. It's another wonderful way to network and meet new folks....sometimes folks with some of the same issues you have who you can connect with

I wish you well and hope you find some new friends and good times in your future. Keep posting as it helps to release that which is bugging you and lots of folks here are good at brainstorming too

Wishing you all the best!
