This was by far the biggest problem I had working from home. I had a little bit of a double-whammy; I moved from Northern California to San Diego and started working from home at the same time. I simultaneously lost most of my social circle and surrounded myself in a bubble of work. I was working for a company, so I at least had my coworkers on Skype most of the day, but really, my only sources of face-to-face interaction with people were my wife and the dog park in my apartment complex.
Between the isolation and the stresses associated with the job, I wound up moving back up to the bay area. I work in an office now, and essentially only see coworkers in the flesh for a few minutes each day, but I still feel so much less isolated.
All of that said, I am pretty sure that I want to be working from home again in the future; I'm just going to come up with some better coping techniques for it.
