Try reading the book Dianetics. Then have someone do the procedure on you. This handles stress and much more...
Try volunteer work. This will allow you to get away for awhile, and to also meet new people. Take walks thru your neighborhood during times when your neighbors are home, and maybe outside. Introduce yourself, and say that you are looking forward to meeting everyone in the neighborhood. The next time there is a get together, chances are you and your husband will be invited, and that's a good start.
