I moved to a new school this year, and have really struggled to make friends and genuine connections with my peers.

I moved this year to a new school, and thought I would make friends easily and quickly. I have very good friends at my old school I love and still talk to regularly, but at my new school I am mostly alone. I am beginning to think I am showing signs of anxiety and depression, as I am upset a lot because of loneliness. I don't know what to do, and I am tempted to move back to my old school, where I know I would be a lot happier, surrounded by people I know and am close with.
I did have one person I know move with me, but she has since moved on, and I initially joined her group. However, I felt like I didnt fit in there, so I ventured out to try and find others. I did meet two people, and they have a group, but I struggle to connect with their friends, and everyone seems to already have their own cliques, and while I try to fit in, no one seems to be fully accepting of me.
I don't know what to do, and I just needed to rant here to let out what I have been experiencing throughout the year.
