Missing home

I moved to the US 5 months ago and I just really miss home. My husband is doing his PhD here and I followed him here. I'm on an F2 visa and can't work here. I was teaching back home and even though I enjoy not having that responsibility, I think my mental health is starting to decline a bit because of feeling a lack of purpose.

I have made some friends here and am volunteering tutoring English. I miss my friends and family back home but it feels like they have all moved on and don't miss me as much.

Any advice on how to feel more settled? Also any advice on possibly converting to a J1 visa as a teacher?
