This is some very good advice from Tom. I think you especially need to put some effort into #3. If the girls are with W every Thursday evening, then make that your night to pursue something you want to do. Take a class, join a club, volunteer somewhere. Get out of that house and get somewhere where you can interact with other people.
Keep putting one foot in front of the other. You'll be surprised where it will take you.
