Moving out to you means having access to stimulants? You want to apply to agencies to live on your own so that you can take stimulants without any limits?
Does this sound right to you? Do you really think it's in your best interests to be able to have unlimited access to stimulants? Do you think it's within the agency's mission statement to enable you to live on your own so that you can have unlimited access to stimulants?
Could it be that you are allowing your mother to be your ego, your self control, and then being angry with her for it? You've externalized that function? If she wasn't serving that function, you'd have to start being responsible for controlling yourself. Maybe a healthy step to moving out is to stop externalizing and start internalizing self control. Move the seat of power back to yourself.
How did your mother encourage you to complete your schoolwork or act appropriately in various situations. Did she explain the reasons for the rules, and allow you to make choices yourself? And suffer the consequences associated with those choices? How did she end up now being responsible for your making good decisions?
What precisely happened at the job? You say they sent you home because you weren't productive. Did you show up? Behave appropriately? Attempt to apply yourself to the job at hand? Why precisely did they feel they needed to send you home? Have you had this job long?
