I'm in the same situation, living with my mother who can't afford to support me. Too mentally ill to work, just a burden on society...
I'm 45 and in the same position. I don't feel that I am a burden on society, though. I didn't choose to have a debilitating mental illness that makes it not possible to undertake the necessary things to support myself independently. There are others, like you, in my position so it's not as though I'm the only one out here like that. You shouldn't feel a burden to society. Sometimes things are just the way that they are and there not mad much we can do about it. It can be sad and/or frustrating but it's okay.
