I know how isolating and dreadful the thought of being alone can be, it is not very nice and can completely blind you to whats really there. Is there any way that you could move to where your mum is? or is that not what you want?
Your brother might not even decide he wants to go yet, maybe you should keep that in mind, he may decide he wants to stay. if he does move though and you want to stay where you are could you consider getting a house mate? or making sure you have an activity that involves you meeting people so that you dont feel so alone?
DO you have friends around that you could arrange to do things with? Ive lived on my own for a year, and it was just by chance that my friend ended up moving in with me, but i quite enjoyed that year living alone, it was nice for it to be MY place and to do what i wanted in it, and its nice to escape from any stress in your own house. There are some positives to living on your own, you just need to bare in mind that sometimes you need to make a little extra effort to make sure youre not completely isolated.
SOrry if this was no help.
