It sounds like you need some extra support to get you through this. Is is possible at all to see a T at least? Someone to help you with coping skills etc. You are welcome to post on here if that helps but I think professional support would be the most beneficial.

It must be so tough being alone and away from your family. Do you video chat to them much? It might help bridge the gap for you. Hang in there. You will get through this.
Thanks for commenting. I can't afford a therapist and my insurance doesn't cover it. I video chat with my sister in law often and talk to my sister in Snapchat but I'm not that close with anyone else really. My son rides the bus to school but I absolutely dread getting up at 6 am to go stand in the cold for 30 minutes. There isn't anything walking distance to me, I would just take an Uber but I doubt I'll go out with all the kids by myself in an Uber because the carseats. If I had friends to come visit me maybe it wouldn't be so bad but I don't really have friends and I def don't know anyone here.
