Yes, my wife was trapped at home. She wanted to work so badly. Going to school especially if you are learning English helps. In your community there must be some sort of ESL program at local educational institution near you She met new friends from her country and other country and established business contacts. In one case she met a father of a business owner where she landed a job.
I think although you can't work you can meet well rooted folks in the community that may be of great resource when you are legally allowed to work. My wife was tempted to start working as soon as she arrive US via K-1. In Vietnam, She knew a client that introduced her to a relative that owned a business in US. But tempting as it was, I made sure she didn't break law by starting employment without a EAD. The owner wasn't to happy about her now starting work at her business. I was upset with her knowing that she does not have EAD but was offered a job. Basically she is tempting her with work but jeopardizing her legal status. Watch out for people like these!! She was not too happy about it and eventually gave up hiring my wife. But eventually everything worked out and wife is working after receiving EAD.
So what you are experiencing is not unique. We all are going through it. Just bear with it best you can. Good luck to you.
