I think you have more than two choices.
Some of this depends on the resources available at your school.

Not without more support.
Are you seeing a therapist at all? It sounds like you need some big help fast, and for that I'm going to push you into the deep end of the pool and recommend a short-term system therapy. It often deals with family stuff, which probably feels irrelevant since you're on your own etc etc. But it can make a huge difference in the weight and quality of your depression. I hear you hear you hear you on the high-pressure academic situation and not being able to do anything when you're in a tight spot.
Maybe Dinah could give you my address, if you'd like to discuss any of this off-line. I don't mean to be pushy - just offering. I've been where you've been, including with the foreign experience. (Except my high-level uni was in my own country, and the one I attended abroad was a lower level.)
