Congrats on finding a job.  Student loans are overwhelming.  I've been there.  I'm a single parent of a 13 yr old - have mortgage, car payment, insurance, a 13 yr old who's growing out of his clothes constantly.  Setting goals helped me.  I made up my mind I'd save enough money to buy a nicer home, and needed a good down payment before I could afford the mortgage.  Three yrs later, we moved into a beautiful home.  Maybe getting a temporary part-time job to supplement your income would help with your student loan payments.  Just try not to get comfortable with your current situation.  Have a plan in place to move your life forward.  You'll feel so much better when you're on your own.  My first apartment was 20' x 20' - tiny, but I felt like a queen because it was mine.  Good luck.
