Hi GalPal, when I was in a similar place to you I made myself try out at least one new activity each month that might become a regular thing - yoga class, choir, volunteering, dancing, tai chi, book club, divorce care etc.
I did a pile of stuff and some stuck, some didn't, but I did make some lovely new friends along the way and I have a full life now. It is possible, but only if we get out there and start making some links with others - maybe 2018 is the year for that?
Xx
