Stephanie Bryant:
What did you do about it?

hi Stephanie
I'm not sure how comfortable or not you may be with this suggestion but I will pass it along and at the least you can bear it in mind if the circumstances provide something promising.
I have also frequently been somewhere within a complete vacuum of local buddhist communion or community or culture, apart from online, which can't be warm and familial in anything like the same ways that human presence and interaction are in real life. (No offense intended or implied, you are all fantastic people!)
Given that, and our common need for human relationships, for many reasons, consider, just consider even, and remain mindful of, other possible suitable kinds of individuals, events, groups and communities that might be able to bring these qualities you feel the lack of and require for your emotional, mental or even physical wellbeing into or more fully and beneficially into your life in any ways.
One important avenue many may overlook is volunteer work. This kind of activity can leave you feeling useful, beneficial, wholesome, positive and joyful and who, honestly, seriously, can make a reasonable case against that!
You may not feel as comfortable around people with other ideas, views, faiths or what have you but any receptive and pleasant, living and present, human interaction is always welcome when you are facing a lot of unpleasant circumstances like this, right?
So, if you can have a look around for other groups that meet or communities that have pleasant or positive activities or gatherings that you can check out, even if the group is really not your thing, you may meet a person or two who can really be a good friend. If the overall atmosphere is really that dark, any light may very easily brighten up your life.
wish you well
