I just moved to a new city for a job, and the job turned out to be a nightmare. My boss was inappropriate and created a toxic work environment, and I quit my job about a month ago. I'm applying to new positions, and trying to stay positive, but it is hard. I don't know very many people in this city, and I suffer from depression and anxiety, so it is really difficult for me right now. I am praying to God that I can find work to pay my bills and that I find friends that are supportive and that I can have fun with. I'm finding I'm going through a rough patch in my life, and it is hard to stay positive. My family is all on the other coast, and I wish I could be with them for the holidays but I have to stay here because of lack of money.
I don't have a lot of money and it's cold here, and I am looking for ways to connect with others and make friends. I like to cook, watch movies, play pool and drink sometimes. I also like to run and garden, but I'm taking a break from these during the winter. Maybe I should join a gym?
Does anyone have advice on how to meet people/make friends in a new city?
