Hi Debbie,

Jen_Jam has great advice. And Debbie: GET OUT OF THE HOUSE.

You're not even in your own place so you don't even have that privacy or freedom which is making it harder on one hand, but you do have your parents there which is good because you are not alone on the other hand.

Are you and your parents close? Can you go to a movie or something?

The weather is getting nice, you can go to the parks, beach, mountains, desert, lake depending where you live.

Are you working? What are you doing during the day? Do you want a career change?

A few months ago I saw that reality show "Say Yes to the Dress" that takes place at the famous bridal gown store and decided I wanted to try my hand as a bridal gown consultant. So I stopped by two shops in my area and emailed a third.

I didn't hear back so I kept calling or emailing them once every other week, but the manager was either not getting my messages or not returning them.

Finally one day I was in the neighborhood of one and thought let me just stop in in person. She hired me on the spot. Now I'm a bridal gown consultant in training.

My point is now is the time you can try your hand at anything you always wanted to be.

Have you heard of meetup.com? It's free and there are so many different interest groups, you can pick and choose and meet people in your area with the same interests.
