Perhaps the committment of a six month program would bring some needed stability to your life right now. Since the money would have to be paid anyway, perhaps it would be more enticing to you to go all the way with the group.
Also, though, I agree with Dinah in that we all place too much emphasis on finishing projects that we start. There are certain things that I suppose *must* be finished (though I can't think of any right now!) but for the most part, what difference does it make? Don't beat yourself up over unfinished projects. I, too, have quite a few of those - a stool I was painting for a friend's baby that I never finished, the cross-stitch that I am *almost* done with but haven't had the energy to pick up in several days, etc.
I also agree with Eddie in that you can't look to others to fill your loneliness. They might distract you from feeling bad for a while, which could be a good thing as we all need an occasional break from the bad feelings, but in the end we have to gather our strength and happiness from inside ourselves.
That said, I don't know how to do this exactly, as I am feeling quite lonely and confused at the moment as well...
