Dive into helping yourself. I do not have alot of close friends and am a bit of a recluse. Do me a favor. Check out a website called Doctor Yourself.com. Some very interesting reading. If meds do not work for you, maybe eating habits and vitamin therapy may help. I have run the course with all meds, I am very sensitive to pharmaceuticals, they have caused me more anguish than good. I had to find another way to deal with my issues. I also walk and/or exercise at least three times a week. I do pretty well the majority of the time, but oveall, I am much happier and feel more in contol of my health.
There is alot of non sense out there reading mateial wise, use good sources and trust yourself to make the right decisions for you.
Nothing is impossible Vinny, hang in there! 
Always here for you,
