Stuck- how do I move forward?

Firstly, thanks all for reading this. I guess I'm posting for some advice. So I recently went through a miscarriage whilst experiencing serious burn out at work, moving house and getting treatment for a very non threatening, yet still worrying basal cell skin cancer.
I've been off work for a few weeks and dreading going back next week. I feel terribly lonely and I don't have any friends to talk to where I've moved, my partner is away on business and we've been arguing, he doesn't understand why I was so depressed after the miscarriage.
My old friends and sisters always have excuses not to visit or meet. My parents are passed away so I'm feeling a little desperate ATM.
I've gained a lot of weight too and just feeling overwhelmed. What's the first steps to moving forward here? I have no idea where to start and feel all consumed. Any advice would help, especially if anyone has been through a similar difficult time. Sometimes I feel guilty for feeling this way as I know things could be worse, but still these low feeling take over. X

It sounds like you’ve been through an awful lot. Take it a day at a time. Can you afford therapy? I’d say the first step would be going to the Doctor. Being isolated and in your head wouldn’t help. I know you’re not looking forward to going back to work but being around people may help? you shouldn’t feel guilty x
