Graduate School Homesickness

Hi everyone,

I was just wondering if I could get some advice about homesickness in grad school.

I recently moved 3 1/2 hours away from home for grad school, and I have been crying every day from homesickness for the past 3 weeks. My parents and other relatives all sort of live in the same area, but I am the only one who really moved away. Every morning I wake up crying for hours because I miss my parents so much. I miss their presence and comfort. Every day I just feel down and lonely.

I have made some friends, but it feels very different from undergrad. I've been going to therapy and trying to find the right medication for my anxiety, but no matter what I just keep thinking of home and I am scared that I will never get over my homesickness.
