age is only a number.

there are organisations out there designed to help people find work and make friends.
one of my classmates at TAFE (technical school) was 65.
at my graduation cermony, there were some older graduates.

nothing wrong with being a mature age student.

I have similar circumstances and I feel exactly the same way, yet I keep moving along anyway. No matter how it all ends, I will not have been a quitter.

As best you can, step back just a bit and look for even the slightest glimmer of opportunity to engage others, or at least someone ... then go in that direction.
