Hey thanks for your post, not sure if you realize but your post here (which shows your desire to change) is inspiring to me and many others.

Number one, rely on HaShem for all the help you need, and daven for him to help you and guide you.

But also do your part so you can be a partner with HaShem in improving your life, and the world.

If staying home stresses you out like you said it does, spending most your time there is gonna be quite challenging.

I highly recommend staying busy with positive activities.  If shuls are close by, make it a top priority to go for minyan every day, also go to shirim and classes if they don't take you away from other commitments.

Of course make sure you are learning Torah everyday regardless where you go!


If you're not already working maybe get a job (Make sure your job is a tzinus environment) there are many good jobs in the community, ask around. Otherwise if you can find ways to help other people by volunteering or helping someone in your community it can give YOU more strength.

Concerning getting kicked out of multiple Yeshivas that is a difficult set back. However this is really a good thing because now you have a special opportunity to face the challenge of seeing what you can do to move forward better and stronger than before.

Most likely there will be some pain in the process, but pushing through the pain of not making it the 1st time, and keeping going toward success will end up being more rewarding, and you will have an opportunity to come out stronger in the end.

It may take time, but you should continue to figure what you can best do to severe HaShem the best way YOU can. When you figure out what that is, and steadily move toward that goal you will feel more fulfilled. 

For you this may, or may not mean trying to to Yeshiva again, or instead following a different path of serving HaShem.

Much Hatzlacha!

Be kind to yourself, you are trying to get to a better place in life where you can see the good.

If you can now just focus on self care, and taking the best care for your body, and your soul that you can.

And most importantly ask HaShem for help

I hope soon it won't be shocking to have nice people around, it will just be normal for you!
