Oh, Janejj, I hear you loud and clear. I moved from a major metropolitan area (my preferred environment) to a *very* rural area six months ago, and I'm still fighting loneliness, depression and a bit of general hopelessness.
The bad news is that there really isn't a drug for this, except finding new friends! Hard to do when you feel like crap, though.
The GOOD news is that a good therapist and/or antidepressants (maybe something activating like Wellbutrin or Prozac) can really help you get through this low point so you can get out and meet some new people! And it *does* get better - even though I still haven't completely adjusted, I am so much better now than I was only six months ago.
Talk to a good doctor, look up a therapist, and keep in touch with us. Hang in there!
