Some great advice for you mak62184...and BTW welcome to PC...

The counsel you've received has been good,,,and your so right,,isolation is the breeder of pain. When were stuck in our own heads,,we create whatever drama is necessary for suffering...Anytime I begin to seek "aloneness" I know some switch has been flicked,,,and it ain't for light...

Have you looked at your local newspaper in the "volunteer" column? There are so many organizations that are looking for help and giving a few hours a week satisfies a couple issues...Their needs,,,and yours...

Also you will meet new people,,create new networks and put yourself out there for whatever may be in the plan for you...
