Hey bro, i am really sorry to hear that things arent going well. It may be of little help, but my granny always told me to try to see the bright side, no matter how bad things seem, they can always be worse. And my favorite granny quote that often has gotten me buy is, "this too shall pass"...but damn the waiting time :-)
If nothing else, you've still got LJ, at least, although it doesn't really fill that hole, does it? I wish I could help with any of this stuff you're dealing with, but all I can offer is entertainment possibilities. I seem to remember you liking certain fantasy novels of alternative history type stuff. I don't think you have TV but do you get any shows via torrents? If so, you should try getting The Game of Thrones. It's on HBO and it's based on A Song of Ice and Fire book series. For all I know, you're already familiar with this or may not have access but I'd thought I'd suggest something to help take the edge off. If nothing else, there's always the books themselves. Loneliness is a bitch and telling yourself you'll get through it doesn't really deal with the now-ness of things. Soldier on.
I know what you mean. When you don't get a daily dose of human interaction, be it hanging out or being in a workplace situation, it's really easy to start feeling invisible. You're really going through the trials of Job though, from all that you mention. I don't really know you outside this venue, obviously, but I feel like I do. I really like your openness. I'm not nearly that open about myself but I'm not as gregarious as you are so that's no surprise, which only makes your situation all that much worse since you actually have a group of friends who aren't around. I'm a lot older than you so I've gotten used to some aspects of what you're dealing with, but I remember the intensity of loneliness at your age and I wish I could wipe yours away.
Sympathy. Small packets of tea. Pings of hugs? Let me know what I could in fact mail you. I have many unused novels sitting around the house, f'r'instance.

Someone else on my flist just posted this: http://youtu.be/ELC_e2QBQMk
I haven't watched it all yet, but it may have something to say to your position.

Thanks. Also feel like some of my "friends" have been ignoring me, which is rough at a time when you really need the socialization subsitutes.
