There is no need for you to apologize for struggling and suffering - even on New Years. You know that.
You sound very distressed. Lexapro, like many other antidepressants, can produce dysphoria and other negative reactions. You might have to look for an alternative treatment. I think that you would have already passed through the withdrawal period for Valium withdrawal, but perhaps not. It might depend upon how long you were on it. Ed_UK2010 would know better than me.
I had to move out of my parent's house in order to save my sanity. Fortunately, I had Easter Seals to provide a roof over my head until I was able to get my own apartment. My relationship with my mother is quite pleasant now.
Depression and negative antidepressant reactions can produce agitation and irritability. I would think about reducing or even discontinuing the Lexapro as an experiment. You would know pretty quickly if it is the culprit.
You are not culpable for anything.
Good luck.
