Moving is tough, and I've done it a lot. I've moved 12 times (not counting moving back to the same house where I lived before). I have to move again very soon. I'm sure it's even harder for people who have lived in one place for a long time. This might help...

Last year I was living with my mother and sister. My mother retired and my sister moved, so I had to move out too. To keep a long story short my best option was to move to a small town half way across the country for school. When I arrived the apartment I found was a total disaster, and I didn't take it. I had to stay at a hotel that night. The next day I found a place with a guy I had spoken with earlier. I knew it wasn't going to work, but all my stuff was coming and everything else was taken so I got stuck there. It was less than ideal. He kept me up all night, and it was very stressful. I had the opposite problem you do, I didn't have any window at all! Well, I survived that and eventually got an apartment of my own. Now sometimes I get cigarette smoke from the neighbors and they keep me up at night! I even called the police one time (it was the right thing to do). For the most part it's ok, but it's stressful. Now, to keep a long story short, I have to move again. I don't know where I'm going to go or what I'm going to do. It's so depressing. I thought that I would be at such a different place in my life. I know exactly what you mean by, "I do feel lost and like I don't belong here at all."

The best I can say is do your best to make it home by arranging your stuff, cleaning, etc. Try to do something, no matter how insignificant, to get to know some people. Do whatever you can to be comfortable with your place, while keeping your identity and aspirations. Keep in mind that the way you feel is totally normal.
