and that all your friends had died and / or moved on with their lives in some way that made it impossible for you to re-connect....
What exactly would you do in order to find and form new, quality friendships? (Keep in mind you are still struggling with your medical problems -- which, in turn, cause frequent fatigue and depression -- so it is tough to BE a good friend too!)

I think I would start wtih one friend who also needed a friend as much as I did. Someone who could be understanding of my medical problems, especially depression. Sometimes it is hard to have a friend who is always depressed. Who wants to hang out with someone who is alaways depressed? But you know what? if someone can be a good friend when you are at your worst, I think you found yourself a real friend. Because anyone can hang with you and be your pal when you are happy, healthy, wealthy, and at your best.

I would take up a hobby to keep my mind busy, but I'd also do something like join a chess club or knitting or sewing circle to meet people.
I'd join the Y, go swimming every day. It's very therapeutic,and you can meet people there.
I'd hang out in the park, somewhere like where you can sail boats, fly kites, walk, ride horses.
I'd take up water colours, oils, or sculpture. It's a good way to express your feelings and you can start to share your art. If you're any good you can sell some of it.
I wish you well. Oh by the way, writing is very healing.

I would do as I always do....
Each day I would wake up... get dressed... live each day as if it were my last...
I would say hello to strangers....
I would stop and watch the sunset....
I would walk into a bar at happy hour and talk to anyone and everyone, much as I do now...
Most important.. much as I do now, I would not take anything or anyone for granted....
Those that come into my life, I would be thankful for... as I am now.
So, to summerize... there would not be a whole lot different in the way I would act, think or feel ( Other than my medical condition )
Peace!

Throw your pack onto your back, pull up your boots.
Time to hit the road. Find yourself a new life, new sense of purpose and new sense of identity.
Places may change, Faces and Names may differ.
Only one thing remains unchanged;
Life goes on.
And that's all that really matters.

Then you'd probably be a Democratic member of the US Congress -- the silent opposition!

I would find a way to go on either reconnect eith my friends or find ew friends. I would not dwell on the five years I had lost. There is no way to regain them So why dwell on it?
