Feel so adrift, alone.. and stuck in a country far from home..

Hey there..

I'm 22 years old.. in the final year of dental school in India.. and I basically have no friends whatsoever.. I moved here four years ago for my parents.. and for myself.. to change the wreck I was becoming back home in Texas.. but, I don't know if I'm better now.. I mean, yes, I'm more sober.. and pursuing an education.. but I get depressed so often.. I live at home with my parents (who are so very conservative and strict).. and they don't let me talk to anyone on the phone.. or step foot outside the house after school.. and even in school, I'm observed-- told who to talk to and who is okay to befriend-- which leaves people who barely speak English.. and who I barely gel with.. The friends I had back home had mostly written me off after a whole lot of turbulence.. and after not telling anyone I was coming to India.. (I wasn't allowed to).. and consequently, I wasn't given a phone or a means to contact anyone till about two years ago.. and when I did.. people were relieved that I was okay.. but all of my friends had moved on-- oceans apart in every which way... So now, here I am, stranded among a billion people.. Tried to make friends.. but never seems to work out.. can't relate to anyone.. I just feel so hopelessly distraught.. more so than ever before.. because I don't know if I'll make it back to the states.. or if I'll have to be under the over-protective eyes of my parents forever.. It feels like a prison sentence.. but I know self-pity won't get me anywhere.. I just need someone to talk to.. or better yet, someone to rescue me.. hope..
