I just want to offer some practical suggestions. Firstly, the local YMCA is a great place to go and work out, eventually you will meet people in passing, which can then slowly overtime build a feeling of connection to others. And ALL this while working out with a dedicated program for your HEALTH, mental and physcial.

I am a yoga instructor and can tell you that the YMCA's usually offer YOGA classes as well and this is an excellent way to tap into your inner spirit, find a place of peace and acceptance for who you are, where you are at in life and this too can bring you to a sense of well being, albeit over time.

Make sure to 'unplug' from the virtual world. It will keep you busy perhaps, but not connected to the earth. Go take a gardening class at your local community education center. Make time daily to connect to the REAL world where actual people can interact.

A simple hello to a person checking you out at the grocery store can become a beautiful experience, if we allow ourselves to focus outwardly toward others with compassion.

Sink? Sinking is not part of allow yourself to float upward toward the surface. Open your heart and soul daily with a clean slate. Focus on the MOMENT, not the past, not the future.

Be here now and mindful about how what you choose to do daily impacts your sense of connection to the inner self and spirit.

I wish you the best in moving forward. Train your thoughts to go toward POSITIVE thoughts. It can be done.

Try listening to Abraham Hicks on the "law of attraction" on utube. It is out there on some levels but has profound suggestions on how to train the mind to bring in the lightness of being positive and allowing each moment to unfold gracefully.
