Adoption remorse... and I feel bad and I have no idea how to feel better!!

So March 15th I adopted a sweet 3 year old black DSH cat named jinx. She was pretty nervous at first but warmed up pretty quickly. I was super excited the first few nights, then I started to worry little by little about stuff like her health, and is she gonna be okay while I at work, will she ever adjust to me and my apartment. So many worries going on in my head. Lately she's been pretty vocal at night and early in the morning and it is messing with my sleep a bit.... I also do suffer from really bad depression and anxiety which not getting any sleep isn't helping me. My doctor and therapist thought an emotional support animal would be a good idea... but I'm feeling like I'm in over my head. I've never grew up with pets so I'm not used to all the noises during the night also im just not used to having someone else in my apartment I feel like a lot has changed and I'm having a hard time catching up. Of course I don't wanna get rid of her but I just want to know if this will pass? I want to be able to enjoy her but I'm also worried about her all the time and also can't get much sleep either. I've been crying a lot and just feeling weird in my home. I've seen other post about feeling this way. Reading others stories made me feel less weepy. It's 2am and I can't sleep because I've been anxious for the past 3 days and haven't eaten much either... I'm just scared that I'm not the right fit for her she shows that she likes me but also im just having a difficult time adjusting to this new change. (I'm being vulnerable and really need some advice) -Thank You
