Thats tough. My usual strategy to cope with situations like this is to sign up as a part-time waiter. Its quite physical job, which is good, cause physical work is satisfying in itself, and you have a lot of positive social interactions. This usually distracts me enough and offers enough socialization to be emotionally stable. Maybe this helps. Good luck!

This is an interesting approach - you're going out of your comfort zone yet making it productive for yourself and helpful for others. I've recently started something similar to push bad moods away - decided to work as a nurse in an isolated community. I won't do it for long, but I feel good useful.
