Hey Yesac,
I am basically in the same situation as you, I moved to a completey different country and it is very hard and depressing to try and establish yourself.
It will take longer than nine months for you to feel settled, damn i have been here for over two years and still feel like a stranger!! It does get easier, although there will be times where you'll still feel isolated and homesick.
You have to really try and get involved in the community some how to make new friends and connections. I know this is easier said than done, especially when you are depressed, but it will go alog way towards making your new state 'home'.
The other thing you can do is move back to where your friends and family live, you need their support right now. You gave NH a fair shot, nine months is a long time!
Take care Yesac,
Janejj
