I think it's kinda nice that you share your thoughts and feelings with us. I remember when I was done with the university and had to search a job, a new life... In fact, I did what you want to do: I made a fresh start, in a big city, Berlin in my case.
It was different at first, the first couple of months were rather hard, I'll have to admit that, but as soon as I got my first connections, I'll start to like it :D
Nowadays, I'm almost ready to leave this city and move back home. I'm in the right age to found a family, and quite frankly, I would rather raise my kids in the area where I grow up once, not here. Plus, a lot of my old friends (some of them I know for 20 years and longer) returned and life there. How knows? Maybe your friends will return once upon a time. Till then, give it a shot and try something new, mate!
And btw, for all I can say, you made a good decision about your job choice. Any software related job has a good potential out there. I understand that you are a little scared (that's only human), but your future may look brighter then you think right now! :)
I'll drink a Stout on your healthiness,
Cheers,

I'm surprised people even read this shit. It's kinda gotten to the point where I feel like I HAVE to make a new post on the first of every month. It's tradition now.
