It sounds very painful. I would agree with the suggestion above re making sure you get some professional ally- a counsellor or therapist.
They can help support you, and also work thru what you need to. You have had close friendships; this means that you are able to. That is precious as not everyone can, and it shows you can again in the future.
Things then went wrong for you with these people; they werent able to cope. Another thing which may be different another time- younger people do find differentness more scarey and harder to cope with sometimes, at an age when it seems crucial to fit in.
You can't go backwards to how it was before, which is sad, but its important to focus on what to do now. Can you move to another college? Or have a break? You dont have to stay with these people.There's no reason why you shouldnt make new friends; take any chances to get to know a new group of people outside the former network.
Look after yourself.
