I just wondered about some ways to combat homesickness. I am in my second year of graduate school 12 hours away from my hometown, and recently, I have been more homesick than I ever have. I feel completely alone, and am really struggling. I am sad all of the time, and even when I am with people, I still feel lonely (does that make sense?). I saw my family this past weekend, and that just made things worse. I'd really appreciate any advice anyone has about this- I feel like I am the only person I know who feels this way.
