You know what...you need to give yourself a big pat on the back for having the courage to take the step and go out on your own. That takes guts and you should say to yourself...yeh...I did it. It's always hurtful to be away from your family, loved ones and what is familiar but they are always there for you. It matters not that you are a distance away....they are always there - remember that.
Sleep...ugh....I have my own troubles there! If I had advice to give you well....heck...I'd take it myself!

Lean on your sweetie, accept his support and be glad you have a shoulder to lean against when you need it. That means a lot, trust me. I think once you are a bit more settled, and less homesick that it will pass.
Money troubles....oh honey don't even worry about them until they happen. I spent so much time worrying about things that NEVER happened. The time would have been better spent on other pursuits! And it stresses you out (which at this time you don't need). I'm not saying go through life with a "whatever will happen will happen" attitude but don't fret over what you can't control. Your car may not break down....if it does - well that's the time to worry about it. As for myself, I'm a single mom with no financial help. It's tough, sure...but the most important thing to remember always is be happy....be proud of yourself and what you have accomplished. You have your whole life ahead of you and it's an unpainted canvass....paint it bright and vivid...paint a happy picture! I wish you all the best!
Oh .... and welcome to TFP!
