Find something you love doing, that puts you around others.

Volunteer work, get involved witth your local democratic party activities.

If you are religious, or even if not, get involved with a church that works to help the poor.

Read some books you never had time to.

Get a pet if you can have one.

Don't fall into isolation, that is a bad thing to do, and is entirely avoidable.

Good luck!
