Hitting the plateau already A2 - B1

I've been in immersed in my (TL) language for 5 months, living in South America.

It's my first time learning at language at 35 but ive been 'learning' on and off inconsistantly for over 3 years (basically duo lingo, a few months of lessons and being around narive speaker in my home country) then I stopped entirely for almost two years, but eventually moved to the country of my TL

Ive never felt this level of frustrstion as I do now and although I know it takes year/s to usualy get to B1 I feel the motivation and frustration really getting to me.

Part of it is also mixed in with the culture shock being away from friends and family - I specically try to spend time with native speakers and not othrr english speaking forgieners but at the same time I have to sometimes otherwise id be incredibly lonely and unable to express myself to anyone.

Im getting better at understanding but it does feel B2 level yet, my actually speaking is more like A2 on a good day. Id say I know alot of indivdual vocab but nothing useful for piecing together sentences above A2 if that makes sense. The 'translating to english' is automatic, im not sure how to even stop that atm

I feel like my technique and confidence in speaking need to improve and I dont want to waste the 1 ywar I have here where I csn really truly immerise myself

Does anyone have any tips or guidence in this kind of situation other than consistant studying and intential immerision
