If a place and or job is making you so sad and unwell it's not worth it. Go home. You tried that is the main thing. I'm sure your family wouldn't want you feeling this way. Your health physical and mental is the most important thing. See a dr for some help and advice
I think you've answered the question yourself - you're homesick and you miss home. That's very natural and normal when suddenly thrust into a new place and new job. There are solutions. Maybe you could call and talk to your family and friends back home more often. Try joining a community group in London to make new friends to support you. Set a routine for yourself so you worry less about daily activities. Maybe try talking to your boss at work; let them know you are having difficulty adjusting and can they calibrate your workload until you settle in. And yes, you can go back home if it is too much. You're still young; you can try again another time. It isn't giving up. It was an experience that will help you grow. You're not a disappointment.
Dude, you should feel proud of what you've accomplished! You moved out on your own, by yourself at 21! Duuuude! There's like so many people out there still living at home. You should feel so Proud! You've just arrived here. You should make some friends, go out on your free time. Too much time home alone is not good for anyone. Forget about sleeping, your body will sleep when it needs to. Worrying about not sleeping will only cause more distress. If you feel home sick, you can always go back. Your family loves you. A disappointment would be losing such a great young man. Look for help... therapist first. Talking to someone, anyone can be a big help. I don't think you have a chemical imbalance so I'd avoid pills. it's normal to feel this way when you're homesick. Just thinking about it makes me feel sad as well. Trust me man, people love you. You gotta make it! this is just a rough patch in your life. Once you get over this patch, you'll become stronger than you can ever Imagine!
