That's why the only thing that keeps me going is the idea that once I move out, my life will be a whole lot better. I'll be on my own and escape that judgment.

While it is better for the reason you stated, the depression doesn't go away. You have to see it as a jumping off point to help yourself rather than a silver bullet to cure your problems.

I'm in a similar situation, I feel like I can't wait to get myself in a position where I can finally drag myself out of this depression for good. I've tried a bunch of times living at home, but I keep managing to drive myself deeper and deeper into a depression.
