Default Emotional Support Network (How to deal with frustration, etc)

I feel like no one gets this (other than the people from this forum). No one wants to get it, but even if people did, would that make a difference? This is so frustrating, exhausting and depressing.

What kind of emotional support(friends/fam) do you have? who can you talk to about this? How do you release frustration/anger, etc?

EDIT: I will elaborate on this. I had to move back with my folks due to the injuries. Mother is not very understanding of the situation(or in denial) and while I get a shelter and food I get no emotional support. Also, in my parents' house, I have a sister with severe adult ADHD (who just does not get that I am injured, and forgets to be considerate). Mother is even in denial about my sister's severe adult ADHD, so I can't really ask much for myself, as much as it is frustrating. To complicate things, I do not know anyone in this town/city. I small-talk with neighbors, but it would be nice to spend time with a non-family member once in a while. I am a social person, so this isolation is very hard on me. I am increasingly getting frustrated/disappointed with my mother, who is the only person I really have right now. It looks like I am going to be here for a while and I seriously fear for my mental health and I would appreciate your input on how to get out of this rut, in light of my PCS condition (cannot drive/go to loud places, restaurants/coffee shops). I basically eat, sleep, go on the computer, go for short walks. I feel like a prisoner...
