I honestly can't believe I'm saying this because my mother did this and I don't condone it and I would never do it.
Having said all that, sometimes parents show terribly poor judgment and childish behavior when they are grasping at straws to try to control their children. She feels you slipping out of her grasp and it terrifies her. On the one hand, she knows you are essentially grown and out of her life. On the other, she is frustrated that you are grown and out of her life. It's a terrible time for her.
I would do whatever you can do to get out on your own. It's not going to be smooth sailing with your mom until you get some time and distance between you.
Do you have a friend you could room with for a little while to give you time to save some money? The sooner the better. Or see if you could strike a deal with mom. No criticism while you save up. Best of luck.
Oh. And maybe you could tell her that you don't really need that other stuff. Just a place to crash while you save money.
