In terms of the depression, a smart thing to do that could also help provide some of the support you're seeking is to seek out a counselor/therapist in your new city, or a support group that's live and in town.

Some organizations in your area that might be of helpp:

You might also ask the guidance counselor at your school for more resources if you need them.

Otherwise, see if you can't give it a little more time. If finding friends or a peer group is just not working yet, seeking out other venues to find that in like volunteer jobs (which, btw, are great for taking your mind off of your own stuff for a while) is an option as well.

Have you been through the Smithsonian yet? The air and space museum is interesting, and the art gallery is fascinating. (Except that horrible modern art place.)

Have you been to Occoquan or Fredericksburg yet? Old Town Alexandria or Georgetown? Some interesting stuff there.

There are a couple of ok band venues, if you're into that. I haven't found any Musica of the Diabolus variety, however... (I'm assuming you're a Slayer fan. )
