I had a nervous breakdown last June that I'm still recovering from. This happened as I was living at home with my parents following my college graduation (2 years ago), and me reaching my absolute limit. The root issues have to do with codependency, an inner passive identity, and relationship issues with mom.

I was in such a bad state in June -- I was so angry, and I told myself I am so determined to fix this and stop feeling like shit about myself. I was SO over it.

I've been going to a therapist stably since October. Therapy has been so helpful and we're making such good progress, my therapist has stated we're going at "lightening speed."

I am stressed, however, because I absolutely hate my hometown and was so over it in June already. Like I can't stand it, I regret even staying here. I want to be in NYC with my friends, thus I haven't made the effort to find a new job or reach out to people here.

So it's this uncomfortable situation of being at home (even longer than I had planned) and all these deeper issues coming up, that I know if I just worked through I'd be better.

To add to the stress, I just started taking an antidepressant, and I know it can take a while before you find the right one so now I'm worried this will delay my time from leaving home even sooner.
