By the way, snap. I have borderline-like symptoms too (therapists in my country don't like to diagnose formally).
If you can only do a part-time job, then that's what you can do. I don't know what your relationship with your parents is like, but taking on extra hours might be a good trade-off for living under their 'thumb', if that is causing you issues, and if you can just cope with the stress and exhaustion until you get yourself into a new lifestyle 'groove'.
I don't think you should have to feel bad about needing financial support from parents while working part time with mental illness. I also think you might know that already, as you've built up quite a case in your original post. But I appreciate your need to be reassured that other people are not justified in their meanness towards you. They are not justified in it against you, any more than they would be justified in it against anyone else in your situation. They do not have the right to treat you worse, just because you are you.
Is it normal that my family provides almost everything for me at age 29?
