Giving you a hug for this post! It certainly brought back a memory for me. I graduated from college during a recession and had to move back with my parents, too. I know that people usually say "live in the moment, not the past or the future" but this might be a situation where it would be helpful to really focus on your future and what you want. Lots of job hunting, yes, but also thinking about where you'd like to live, if you want roommates or a house share, just planning your future in general. That can help me to get through a tough time.
I was surprised to find that my parents were nicer to me than usual when I moved back home after college. (I think they didn't want to do anything that might slow down my job search so I'd leave the nest, heh, but in any case, I appreciated it.)
Best of luck to you and I hope the job search doesn't take too long.
