Uncontrollable crying and little anxiety
I went away from home recently to study in another city. However, due to online coaching I was having zero interaction with anyone so I was feeling very low. I've lived in hostel before which was even further away from my parents but I never felt like this. Since the exam I'm preparing for is like the toughest in India so it requires a lot of determination and study. So it was a mix of being alone in an unknown city with no friends and too much to study. But I've never cried this much in my entire life. I had to take deep breaths to calm myself. I don't understand that am I too emotional or I suffer from anxiety. I came back home as I couldn't live there and I told my parents that I couldn't be there as I felt extremely lonely there but they think it was something more. My father gets too angry when I cry. He says not to cry but I'm unable to explain to him that crying isn't in my control. How do I know if I have anxiety issues or it's just normal?

It would be better if you consult a clinical psychologist or psychiatrist. I feel it is immature to give explanation that why you feel like this. If you had posted your problem for tips to get rid of your problem then it is also a immature expectation.
Next Steps
consult a clinical psychologist or psychiatrist.

Hello dear
First of all, it is very brave of you to stay alone and adjust in a new city while studying for one of the toughest exams. You would have never felt this lonely and confused before. I can understand that you might be feeling helpless.
But you don't need to worry dear. You can contact a Psychologist or a Counsellor.
You can also contact me and I will help you in getting through this. You got this!

Hi.. It is not unusual for us to feel like this at times.
This has to do more with your present aim (exam) and your perceived ability to satisfy that aim.
You think living alone in a different city for preparation is necessary for you to achieve your aim, but as you said classes are going online so how does it matter from where you are attending them.
You seeing yourself as a culprit here is more a product of your past and the way your significant others (like father) and accessors have perceived you. You have just internalized that perception.
You require Motivational and Supportive Counselling. It will help you achieve your aim and put efforts accordingly.
Next Steps
Start taking Counselling Sessions from a Psychologist

It's an anxiety but kinda freeze response. May be disconnect with ur loving world might have made u feel scared. For mind anxiety response is due to felt threat. But actually ur not at all in danger or in any such condition. But still U cry uncontrollably. It's like a freeze response like helplessness. Can't deal with it and can't leave n run away from it, so mind doesn't know how to cope and in ur defence u cry. So yes take 2 to 5 deep breaths and change ur thought to you are safe and nothing to worry about.
Next Steps
keep doing deep breathing from stomach and breathe out through mouth
