I'm very far from home now and I am not sure if I am homesick or regretted.

Quick story goes, my sister wanted to study cartoonist but at our country she didn't find a school with a program she liked, she found one up and one down, down the continent seemed cheaper but still very expensive, almost the whole family came together to help her and me to travel, I never though we could make it for the troubles we had yo pass, money wise especially, but finally here we are. She started school this week and should find a job soon to help my parents and not only that to DO something, but I'm here as a tourist, that's what my passport says, and a friend told me its going to be very hard to find a place where they would hire me and give me a contract and with that a temporary stay.

Some other problem is that we don't have a place to stay next month, my sister needs to buy things for her school and I'm in charge of the money which is mind exhausting, it all seems so expensive, and money value is an issue since ours is like half less from the one here.

I want to go back home, I miss my parents, my cat and my friends, but we all worked so hard, I quited a nice job to come here, and is the very first time I travel outside my country but I haven't been able to appreciate the city since there is a storm in my mind, I don't know anybody here and I feel I can't tell this to my family cause I'll disappoint them and my friends would tell me to take advantage of this opportunity.

I really don't know what to do and I feel time is pushing me into insanity -.-

Actually, what you're experiencing is perfectly normal. The feeling of not fitting in and not knowing anyone. I forgot the actual term for it (not homesickness) but you're not alone. I'm not sure what country you moved to, but if it's the US, you can find work at retail and supermarkets (like Wal-Mart, Safeway, etc) pretty easily, even if you're on a temporary stay. Or fast food places can be a bit easy to join. I've met people on green cards and work visas get jobs at those places, some barely spoke English. But your visa has to say work visa, if you're technically a tourist and the visa states you're only visiting, I don't believe you can find work legally.

But, if you're not in the US, I'm not 100% sure of the rules, but there are always some kind of jobs that don't mind temporary jobs. Hopefully everything works out for you. With my family, I couldn't say something like that (I have a very angry, Asian mom & a Caucasian dad who just says "ok, good luck" or the like). But, if you're family is close, there's no reason for you to express your worries. If you want, you can add that you don't want to go home just yet but that you have doubts about helping successfully.

well no I'm not alone I'm with my sister but I really don't know anyone else here, and sometimes she makes it all worse -.- I'm not in the US I'm in Argentina, I've heard that if I get an student visa I might be able get a job but I checked and everywhere inscriptions are over and either way I can't afford anything that is not in the public university

I could tell my parents how I feel but I'll just make them worry even more, they would never force me to stay but they don't want me to leave my sister here by her self

Thank you for posting, I still feel rather sad but talking about it helps =)

I meant not alone in your feelings, as in other people experience it, not that you were physically alone ^^.

Okay, yeah, that makes more sense. I haven't been to Argentina so I'm not sure about their job. I understand where you're going with your parents, and I wouldn't tell them either then. But, at least on subeta, you have people to talk to ^^. I wish the best for you to find work and good luck.

oh, haha yeah I know everybody feel depression or anxiety sometimes and so many more things, but I am sometimes physically alone since she started school this week I spend a few hours by my self not knowing what to do.

I'm not in a position to talk good or bad about the city, is big and has some nice places but I haven't found anything that makes me want to stay here. No I'm not telling them but in some level I think they know I'm not comfortable, we Skype every night and is hard to pretend happiness. Yeah this site has helped me so much since I joined I'm very thankful to many users, I have you now on my list ;D
