Hello to /r/personalfinance:
My parents' have always lied about our financial situation, however, I discovered through my dad's part of the FAFSA that we are earning near poverty levels of income. I recently made changes in life to improve my levels of anxiety caused by finances, and I withdrew from University. I am seeking to move out of my parents' house, support myself, and save enough money to go see a therapist. My parents keep intimidating me about leaving the house, which does not help.
I have applied for a couple of jobs already, including Starbucks, and currently, I'm looking for an apartment. In the future, I hope to go back to school, but only after I improve my general wellbeing. Right now I'm just trying to live a happy life. Asking money from my parents would still tether me to them financially, and I would rather not be attached to them anymore. I want to live independently and have some financial security for once. Some advice going forward would be nice.
Edit: I'd like to take a moment to thank everyone who contributed to the thread! I am doing my best to actively respond to your comments, and I apologize if I can not get to yours due to time constraints. Nonetheless, your contribution is deeply appreciated. I will do my best to keep up with the thread between doing further research and applying for more jobs. Thank you again!!!
