I realize this is not a romantic thing, but emotionally it’s really similar to a break up. You’ve focused all your hopes and emotional security on this one friend and now you’re grieving and jealous of his new friend and the plans he’s making that don’t include you. The fact that you have to see him all the time as a roommate doesn’t help.

Maybe understanding it this way will help you to put it into perspective and see that your feelings of sadness are normal. You definitely do need to find your own things to do, but don’t try to rush into another dependent friendship with someone else and expect them to fulfill most of your social needs. Try to develop a range of casual friends, do distracting fun things, and definitely see a counselor there for some sessions and support.

Improving your math skills sounds like another good thing to do. Good luck and realize, this will definitely get better in time and you’ll find your way.
