Not only did I read your post, but so much of what you said mirrors my life, so please know that you are not alone. I know that may not help, but sometimes knowing that others are experiencing the same types of things help make a little more sense of things to a point.
I comend you for going back to school. I am almost 40 years old and have attempted that twice and failed. Most recently just a few weeks ago. I too wanted a degree and to actually do something with my life, but for me anyway, it just became too much. So I really hope you are able to reach your goals, I'm really rooting for you.
I also don't have a lot of friends outside of some co workers and maybe one old friend from high school, so I understand how you feel lonely and sad about that. One difference though is that I just recently remarried. Even though he should be my best friend, which he is relatively speaking, but there are just some things that a guy doesn't get and it would be nice to have a close girlfriend to chat with.
I understand fully how you feel so please don't feel like no one cares because I do as well as I'm sure others do that you're not even aware of. I know I don't have all the answers but anytime you need someone to talk to, I'll be here for you. I know this time of the year if very difficult for many people for many reason, it is for me too. Just talking to others sometimes help.
So please try to hang in there and know that you do matter!!
