I feel like I fucked up. I graduated college a little over a year ago and couldn't find work. In the meantime, I pretty much lived as a NEET at my mom's. I liked it, but it was somewhat depressing. So my job searching continued and continued and I finally found the job that I have now. Had it and been living on my own since February (hour away from my mom), but I feel fucking miserable. I feel like I should've saved more or something and I just can't help but feel like I rushed into this.
Ideally I'd love to freelance from home and I've even contemplated moving back to my mom's after my year is up with the apartment, but honestly, that's probably just more emotion than logic talking at the moment. I don't know, I feel like a wreck. I'm constantly depressed, I hate my job, and I just feel stuck. I really don't know what to do here.
You the typical millennial. You're not alline in your situation. You'll be fine. Keep working hard and things will come together

Sounds like you're homesick. It's a pretty common feeling, usually for children. Are you a child OP? Not necessarily by age, you could be a mental child, too.
You have to "grow up" eventually, most people will tell you it's doing what you're doing, working, supporting yourself. But what they won't tell you is that only you decide what that means for you. If you want to live with your mom forever, go for it I say. But there are social consequences of that lifestyle depending on where you live and who you surround yourself with. Unfounded as it may seem, people will judge you for it. Personally I'd probably still live at home if I didn't enjoy the freedom of blasting my music late at night and smoking weed and drinking as much as I please. My parents aren't very understanding of that and generally kind of annoying and judgy, but that's just my situation. I don't think less of my friends who live at home, it's fine.

I will certainly try to continue working hard. Maybe I'm just letting too many thoughts get to me.

As weird as it sounds, I kinda only miss the aspect of being able to save my money and not have to worry about rent, bills, etc. I like my freedom too much, but I don't know that I'm willing to sacrifice it just to save money. I know this entirely conflicts what I said in my origin post, but that's the overall issue is I just feel conflicted.
