This is the first time I'll ever be looking for a place on my own and I have no idea how to go about this. I'm desperate to move out of my parents house due to them both being very controlling and having ridiculous rules about what I should and shouldn't be doing within their home. I'm working two jobs currently and trying to save as much as possible, but I'm not sure whether I can even afford to rent a studio apartment of my own because I'm still making not very much money. I'm considering renting a room somewhere but I don't even know where to look for roommates and I'm terrified of ending up in an even worse living situation with people I don't like. I've tried to seek advice from my family but none of them have anything helpful to say as they've never gone through this on their own like I'm having to. It also sucks because I currently don't have any credit established so securing a place is going to be much more difficult I think. I don't have any friends either that could help with finding a place or by rooming together so I'm just kinda lost.

If you have any advice or tips on what I should I do please let me know, I am very eager to get out of my parents place, I feel like I'm suffocating here.

Thanks <3

Yeah I didn't think renting my own place with no credit or rental history would be realistic. And living away from my parents isn't a choice for me, they're basically pressuring me to move out in the next few months
