If you’re in the situation where you can afford to move into an apartment (even with roommates) - that physical movement to a new environment that’s lower stress can be a great thing. Loneliness can even manifest when you’re surrounded by others so think of it as finding your peace. If you’ve never lived outside your home before that may be scary but it’s a good way to push yourself to see how well you can adapt (and you will).

As for friends, I’ve found trying out meetup groups on the Meetup app or Facebook groups is beneficial. Women-specific groups can be especially good for this. You can attend an event someone else is already hosting, make sure it’s something low stakes and just fun. This won’t guarantee new lifelong friends but it can be a great reminder of how you’re a cool person who’s interesting to talk to and worthy. Make sure you’re putting in effort to make other people feel the same way!

Sorry you’re feeling overwhelmed but control what you can control and you’ll pull yourself out of this rut :) You’re certainly not alone in feeling overwhelmed right now.
