I'm just going to try and focus on all of the things I can work on during my time at home. My teacher at this festival gave me a large étude book that he write. It is mostly in god awful keys and time signatures so maybe I'll just start working through that and then start transposing random stuff to pass the time. I do better when I have a clear goal. Once I can get back to school and see my T again, maybe she can help me get rid of these thoughts.

Actually, I am an English teacher, but I am a trained musician. Mostly I sing anymore, but I also play flute and piano.
While you are at home, find things to do that will get you OUT of that house. Take your music and work on it at a bookstore or the library or sitting under a shady tree in a park. You have a choice to stay cooped up at home all day which will feed your depression, or you can decide to get out of the house a few hours a day just for some you time and peace which will help you by putting your well-being on the important list so to speak. You DO have options to help you get through this time a little easier, but YOU are going to have to make that happen for yourself.
