If your neighbor is that bad and it's unbearable, moving is always an option. As far as dating being proactive is only half the battle, if once they meet you in person and you're acting miserable and having the "woe is me" mentality no guy is going to want to stick around for that no matter how attractive you are.
Friendships and relationships take effort to maintain, so if you're not willing to put in any effort don't expect to have these things.
It does sound like therapy may be of help to you.

To be fair, it is hard when a pet dies - though arguably that's not as bad as having a pet for 10 years and it dies rather than when basically still a puppy. And in the OP's case it is a health issue that will require ongoing effort. Most people don't realize until they are older that long-term chronic issues definitely take the energy from you.
The OP certainly can move - but it's not as easy when you own a condo rather than are just renting. If you'd just bought a place, the last thing you want to think about is looking for a new place to buy, going through all the financing and moving again.
So I get it, OP. I think you may be depressed and are lacking energy and any optimism. At the least you need to find some hobbies that are actually fun for you - some you can do on your own and others to get you out with more people. Making your life more enjoyable will help distract from the things that aren't and that you may not be able to easily change.
