#3I don't even speak the local language and if I leave I have to reimburse all the relocation and visa costs. I don't want to talk to my family because I don't want them to worry and I'm honestly embarrassed to talk with my friends. I don't really know what I should do because I was never treated this way in my entire career. I'm feeling just miserable.

From your post it's hard to work out if the reason you were shouted at was due to a work issue, or someone being rude?
If it's the later just ignore it, don't let them get your back up; if it's a work issue ask them to explain carmly what was wrong as shouting doesn't solve the problem...

#8Start looking for a new job.
Unfortunately my visa is attached to my employer for one year. If I look for a new job I have to go through the visa application process again.

It was due a work issue. Basically my boss is not happy with performance.
