You already have a series of strong interests that you might use as avenues to a new social life. Your interest in things historical is worth following up on. You need to find out where discussion groups and tour groups and such form. The local library/museum/historical site ought to have some start-up information in the form of pamphlets or even volunteers manning a desk/phone who answer questions.

Check out websites. Write your own little synopsis of what you think about things (such as your expressed admiration of William the Conqueror) and submit it to said organizations for either posting to their sites or publishing in their newsletters. Come to think of it you could at the same time start your own blog with such writings as a part of it.

Another interest and strength of yours is your poetry. A separate blog? More submissions to local/area gatherings of writers?

You like sports even though you feel physically incapacitated for the time being. Look up more groups to discuss boxing, soccer, cricket, american football . . . these groups and discussions don't all happen in pubs, which could help you cut down on your calories, save money, and find a way to socialize without alcohol.

Depression is a real deal. It can cripple peoples drive to take a step forward. Seriously look for a professional to help you put this one in perspective. Depression is often the result of a minor inherited tendency to manufacture more or less of certain chemicals in your own body. A professional would work with you and use straightforward medication to help your body align itself into the less stressful state of dynamic emotional/physical balance that the general run of folk are lucky enough to live in. It is not a demeaning or unmanly thing to ask for help in any medical situation including the more hidden ones of emotional or psychological stress. It is exactly like finding the right person to tweak your back from time to time when it goes out, or to prescribe something such as insulin because your own body just doesn't provide that particular chemical in the right ratios for you.
