How are you doing?
I agree that you should sit down and make everything clear to your ex. She's simply not getting it and you shouldn't have to hide away in a corner because of that.
You could also check craig's list to see if there are people looking for roommates. Perhaps you could interview a couple of them and maybe move in with one of them. Or, if you're in school, the housing people might have a list of people looking for roommates off campus.
Try to take care of yourself, be safe.
