My advice right now is to keep GALing, and as Sara said, be nice but stay detached. Hopefully you're still reading my sitch, I just posted some advice from SDFoundGirl that may apply to you, as well.
I saw your list of ideas for meeting peers - did you do any of those?
You can also try meetup.com, I've met a lot of neat people that way. Not really close enough to any of them yet to consider them a "support system," but working on it.
