It is good to see you again, sugahorse! Though I am very sorry you are feeling so bad.

Though MeetUp might seem daunting, I encourage you to give it a chance. It's helped me get out a lot, and I rarely went out at all before. And nearly everyone comes into a group not already knowing people, so they've all "been there". It's something in common. Although I've lived where I am for a decade now, MANY (most, even) of the people that I have met are quite new to the area. Different groups will feel different, and also vary based on who shows up at a given event. Sometimes I'm raring to go, other times I kind of have to push myself. But it has always turned out to be worthwhile, even if only for getting me out of the house so I'm not too much of a recluse. A lot of times, I have a very good time. I think you will too.

Does the community center have other things going besides the gym?
