Balance

Im trying to find some balance in life although its hard with my living situation.  I basically live in a room in the house and whwn Im not at work I retreat there.  I just dont feel like being around people right now although my counselor tells me that its important i socialize and make lasting friendships.  

My new job is going better than I expected.  I need to find a place to live but Im scared to make the leap...afraid of failing and then not having anyone to turn to.  The "friends" ive met so far seem to put conditions on me and so I avoid them whenever possible.  Its been over a year since my divorce and I feel I am no further than I was when I left me ex.  Im not sure what to do except just keep watching my feet...1 foot infront of the other...one step at a time.
