I'm so sorry you are feeling scared, anxious, and homesick. You sure do have a lot going on right now. It's understandable that you would be feeling anxious about the new job and also depressed about your first holidays in a new place where you don't know many people.

Going back to work and fixing up your house sounds exciting.

For the homesickness, could you call family and friends more frequently to help with your homesickness? Make plans for a trip back home so that you have that to look forward to?

Would it be possible to find a therapist to help you get through this rough spot?
