In situations like this we always think we are the only one and no one else is the same place. We tend to look around and see others as being so much more brilliant with sunny lives and success after success.

Truth is that for many reasons lots of people your age are living at home with their parents. And that is true even for people who are not having to bravely deal with mental health issues.

Stop being so hard on yourself. Be kind and generous with yourself. Stop tallying up what you consider failures and start living life with a more open mind. You are a brave person who is dealing with issues that can be a heavy load. Give yourself some credit. ITs not easy. Its not fair. It is what it is and you have to be stronger and more honest and braver than a lot of other people.

Take care. No one knows what good thing might be right around the corner. Take it day by day or when things are really tough moment by moment. Others know and care about you and see your value as a person -independent of wher you live etc.

I send you big grandma hugs. You are not alone. There are many others right here with you.
