Have you tried engaging with the community or your hobbies at all? It's always scary to move somewhere new, especially if your expectations weren't met. And to be fair, Journal Square can be a little boring. But try some restaurants, go to hobby meet ups, check out the neighborhood, and you are still VERY close to Manhattan and can head there for fun too. You also might want to see if you can find a private parking spot for rent to take some of that pressure off (street parking here is extremely stressful!).
