^You folks are completely right, although I will say I took last night to lick my wounds with beer with some old friends and I'm going to do the same with some new friends this evening. I feel like the world is now forcing me to do what I've wanted to for a few years.
I'm in the pits, it's only up for here, and I know I can get through it.
I really appreciate all of your kind words, everyone.

I'd love to, are you sponsoring me, much wow?
another silver lining is that (if you let it), your perspective will shift. "I made it through all that E36 M3, I can handle whatever comes now"

This is a very succinct way to describe something I have never been able to properly put into words.
I spent the first 6 months never turning down an invitation. Didn't matter what. Dinner parties, seeing live music, happy hour, road trips or just a few tacos. I also cut people out of my life who didn't contribute anything positive. That guy who only calls when he needs a favor or those acquaintances that do nothing but complain. I just stopped contacting or politely declined. Then I threw a big party for everyone that was left to remind myself of how good things can be.
The look on a certain persons face when I stopped them mid bitch session and said "You know what? Things have been pretty rough for me lately and I could use some conversation that is a little less negative" They continued with the mindless prattle about something unimportant so I just said goodbye and shook their hand. It's been 3 years. I don't miss them a bit.
I also think it would have been a great time to relocate but being upside down in my house prevented that.
