Thank you for the replies everyone
I'm going to look into housing benefits soon, and I'm going to try and get a cheap rented apartment near my work (within walking distance so transport funds aren't an issue)
Unfortunately I have no other family members I can live with - they all live too far away - and I don't have any friends at all, so living by myself is the only option I really have.
I tried going to counselling a few years ago and I found it a waste of time, I'm not sure if I want to give it another go.
