I left my home at 20 unaware of how much my being around my family was bad for me. I kept a lot of distance at first, and now keep the contact to what I am comfortable with. I know for me that I did not really start to get better from my depression until I left the house. Of course, I needed therapy, meds, and a lot of work... But I think being out of that environment allowed me to begin that process. If it is possible for you to get out of there, it sounds like it would be really good for you! Thanks for posting!
