I'm slightly bi-polar so I can kinda half-relate (sorry, humor's my crutch :P )
I just know that when I lived alone, I spent almost all my time away from people and was absolutely miserable, unmotivated, and downright depressed...
I know different things for different people, but me starting to make friends at college as opposed to just attending class with them made a HUGE difference in my life. The more people I met and the more things I experienced, the less time I had to dwell on the issues in my life and the more fulfilled I felt.
What helped me too was tutoring in my college. The feeling that I was helping people really boosted my self-esteem and got me out of the doldrums...
Just my $0.02... hope it helps...
