Tina - god there's just so much sadness on this Board tonight. My internet relationships are important to me too. You can't control how much those contacts are there for you - I understand that frustration, and i've worried alot about my inability to draw support from non-cyber friends.
As much as i might hold up "real" friendship as an ideal, I doubt very much I could share the depth of my despair with non-cyber friends. At least people here talk the same language, and my non-cyber friends are all pretty much wrapped up with their own lives.
Are there things you enjoy doing outside of work? Finding others who share those interests may help you feel less alone and may demonstrate for you that there are lots of women in your boat.
When I'm depressed, it's hard to think about taking on a single new activity. However if I force myself to get involved in something, I usually find myself obsessing a little less about my own circumstances.
