Find a roommate and move out. That way your expenses are cut in half. Or pack a bag and go to a womens shelter. Tell them you're depressed or whatever. They have programs to get you started with a job and they will help you find your first apartment. That's what I did at 18. Nowadays they have excellent programs for young women to get started on their own. Good Luck!

Are you in a position where you can move out of your parents home? I completely understand you needing your own space where you can do whatever the hell you want whenever you want to do it. But if you are not financially able to make that happen right now, then what I would do is develop a plan to be out by next year. As you are busy planning your next step, where to live, how you're going to finance it, picking furniture and decorating, you will probably be so busy focuing on those things that you won't have the time or energy to worry about whats going on in your parents home.
No matter what, just keep your focus on the things you need to do to get out of there. Even if its as small as going to the store to pick out bath towels and color, or to pick up a toilet seat cover. At least you will know you are plannning on making your move and the situation that are you in right now is not going to be the situation where you stay.
Hope that helps.

You are an adult. already.at 23. It's about time that your parents learn to let you go and fly the coop. But make sure you will be able to support yourself. Are you finished with your college education? Are you gainfully employed.?
Independence comes with responsibilities. There is a price for freedom. There are bills to be paid. Housekeeping and laundry need to be done and meals to be prepared. Living by yourself can be lonely without your parents and other siblings.

The usual advice given to that problem, jone, is to tie a knot in it and hang on, but I don't think that's what's called for here. You should consider getting out of home, and starting to find your way in life independently. You will need independent advice for this, so you might find that a counsellor of some kind will be of assistance. Your local government body should be able to point you in the right direction.

The obvious answer is to move out. If you aren't able to live by yourself due to expenses, try searching for some room mates to share a place with, that will bring your costs down while affording you the opportunity to move out of your parents' house.

Get a job and move out into an apartment. It's really not that hard.

Move out. Get your own apartment. You should be on your own by now anyway.
