<prompt> Human: Due to a history of mental problems I basically stayed inside my room for nearly a decade after high school. After many years of depravity I decided I wanted to change so I went to a doctor to get on medication. After that worked I got my job and I have been there for a few months now. I make 10 an hour and normally work between 25 - 40 hours per week. Doesnt sound so bad, except rent here is fairly high and I just cant afford my own place. I still live with my mom and its pretty difficult, honestly. My entire family has had a history of mental problems so growing up with that still being around it is hard. Nearly every night Im on the brink of a total mental breakdown. I guess I just dont know what to do. I would hate to move in with someone else because what I really need is to just be on my own. I live fairly close to work and I can walk down the street but if I picked up a second job I would need my own vehicle and Im still working on getting my drivers license. Im hoping to have my own car DL before spring of 2017.its also hard to save up because my mom doesnt want to get a job and relies solely on social security so a chunk of my pay cheque goes to her.Trying not to rant about my personal life, but want to give a general idea of my current situation.I just want to make it on my own so my mental problems can get better but Im so overwhelmed that I often dont know what Im even doing.I live in the Bay Area so if anyone can give me any information on where I can go to seek help, it would be greatly appreciated.  <response>: Just hearing about someone taking the first step has already made my day. Keep it up.
