I feel really lonely

Hi, I am just trying this cos I don't know what else to do. I have been feeling really down since a couple of months ago. I suddenly make this huge change, I move from my country to study. But it has been really hard. I've been feeling very lonely, and without energy. Also, I've been feeling for a long time that I am losing my self-confidence, so it doesn't help me in any way. I don't know what to do, all I do is keep thinking how unfair I am beacuse I am very lucky to have all I have, and I just can enjoy it or feel good about it. I don't think is just homesick. I can't really make friends, since I am really self-concious lately, and I just don't think I fit in here... but I will have to stay for 4 more years, so I should do something about everything. I really want to feel better, is just getting worst.
I hope you can help me. Thank you.

Hey
Is this your first time away from home and how old are you? Have you always had trouble in new surroundings and trouble making friends. What leads you to believe that this is more than being homesick?

I am 28, and yes I have been away once before, two years ago. It was completely different I made really good friends and I was really happy then. Now, I am just tired all the time, and with no energy. Just waiting to go back home for the holiday. It is just wrong. I don't like to feel that way.

It might just be that you are homesick and having more trouble making friends. If you still feel like this when you go home, then you should look into getting help for depression, lets see what happens.
