It's pretty common that people who graduate college tend to settle in the same area instead of going back home (if they're from elsewhere), at least for a few years. It may not be too late for you to find some old college buds who are doing that, and share housing with them. Of course, the key ingredient is money, because you'll have to support yourself, and you know better than I whether Macon's economy can do anything for you, or if staying there is compatible with your career goals.
One of college's great attractions is fellowship -- there are people all around, all the time, always something to do. Out of that vast array, it's easy to find kindred spirits -- much easier perhaps than at any other time of life, because you are living _and_ working with these people. So I understand. If you can't stay in Macon, and going home doesn't attract you, perhaps it's best to plan ahead for your new, independent life. You can't just go home and live with your folks like before, not after all you've been through. You're different, and they may not understand; might feel like you're losing your independence. Might be like being told to go back to high school or something (which is a fairly common post-college dream). So if you can't stay in Macon, get off the dime, get a career and get out of the house. I'm not saying this will be easy, or fun, but it really sounds to me like you'll be miserable just going back to your old life.
Personally, in my own post-college life years ago, I stayed around the house a little too long. And it got ugly.
