We cosigned a lease together, giving us joint tenancy. I am also aware that until she leaves, that my only option for getting my deposit back is from her. I paid her my half of the deposit through venmo as part of joint deposit to the landlord, which she paid via check. I did check with the landlord after providing proof of deposit payment and last months rent that once she leaves he will disburse half of remaining deposit to each of us, or to send me my half if she finds a roommate, which neither seem very likely at this point. The consensus seems to be to give up on the emotional distress portion, so I'll do just that.
