You got enough good-wishers/friends here but I'll be an asshole.
If you want to lead some company, you don't rant. You simply can't. I recall a submarine captain from some movie who, when asked "what if you don't know the answer," he replies, "you can't not know the answer."
You cannot falter. Even in the worst of worst circumstances, when you feel like the whole world is against you and you face your demise, you cannot show weakness of character. Soldiers ask the commander when shit happens, but the commander has nobody to ask. If you're a commander, loneliness is not of the least of worries you will face. Depending on someone else for emotional support, in my opinion, is a luxury with great risk.
You're a guy paddling a boat in the middle of the pacific. When you hit a storm, you don't look for people who tell you, "I'm waiting on the island of success for you." You look for people who can sit in the damn boat and actually row with you, or throw you a rope or even fix you a motor. At times of stress, "sweet"ness means absolutely nothing.
If you are a leader, you share your personal pains only with those who would risk their lives for you. And you only know they would, when they do.
This is merely a turning point in life. The sooner you get out of it, the stronger you'll be. So get out now, and make the next decision.
I spent too much time writing this... hope it actually benefits you.

Warts and all :) "... And today, the one person I called my best friend let me down. I called him and say I needed his help. O boy. "Hang on" he told me, "You will do fine". O boy. ..." And like whacked I'll add some words. Read this article. "Advice to Young Men from an Old Man". I know you can't teach wisdom but I offer the link anyway. It starts off ... "1. Don't pick on the weak. It's immoral. Don't antagonize the strong without cause, its stupid" ~ http://www.craigslist.org/about/best/sfo/279126743.html http://www.craigslist.org/about/best/sfo/279126743.html
