If investors are contacting you, you surely have something worth pursuing. No matter what, tough it out as long as you can.
To cope with the loneliness, get yourself out there. Are you alone in the "I need like-minded folks to talk to" way? Or in a more "I want to hang out and have fun with people" way?
Either way, you can do something about it.
For the former: go hang out with people. It is easy enough to cold-email people and invite them to lunch or coffee (where in the bay are you, btw? let's go have lunch!) Go to tech meetups. Join users groups and go to their activities. Coincidentally, this is probably the best way to find co-founders.
The latter is a bit more tricky, but you can approach it the same way. Make use of meetup. Volunteer. Join a book club. Make it a point to talk to 1 stranger every day or every day you go outside the house. Go to bars by yourself and talk to people.
There is probably a large set of people who fit into both categories.
One way or another, keep at it through the hard times. I'm sure it'll be worth it.
