Imlie's helplessness as per me was coz she was not able to share this happiness with two people who are anchors of her wrt her career. SK and Adi. SK is in jail, Adi is in front of her eyes as she cannot share it with him.
I was just pondering on Imlie's stand, Is it a Zid or need to save her relation and make it even strong from root. What I felt is more than Zidd it is the need. As we want these two to unite even Imlie is craving for Saath of Adi. She knows Adi is with her and he loves her. That is not the issue we know. The issue is Adi is not able to see the danger hanging on the head. Till he is not able to see it and ready to accept to work on eliminating it from their life, Imlie has realized that things will always be on uncertain stage. The person will keep doing the startegies and Imlie will have to keep on fighting alone with the situation. Saath hoke bhi she will always have to fight alone. It will not only further hamper their life and togetherness but also effect Imlie on career front. She will never be able to focus on her career in such environment. So she has made this decision to put focus on her career and stop investing time on explaining Adi. They both love each other but at this point she cannot give loose thread. So thus her restlessness is shown in that scene. This is just as I saw it.
I frankly don't think Imlie has thought about it as deeply as you are describing it here. I definitely do not get the sense that she left the house cuz she thought she wouldn't be able to focus on her career if she lived in that atmosphere😕😆......she only thought of her career AFTER she had walked out of the house in anger.....her career was not the reason she left.
As for zidd or need.....I think it's neither right now....she's trying her own brand of escapism it seems....she is fed up of trying to explain the M problem to Adi so she just wants a break from having to deal with him....lol....and that is why all her actions are impulsive too....jab mood hua MS bhasam kar diya, jab mood hua random fighting arena chale gaye, jab mood hua random internship offer from total stranger accept kar liya.....lol....jab mood hua footpath pe let liya, jab mood hua hostel mein rehne chale gaye😆, jab mood hua car dhone ko SM ka diya hua project maan liya.....etc. etc.
Yes, she misses Adi and will keep on yearning for him whenever she has moments of vulnerability....but overall toh she's just trying to use this internship as an escape mechanism right now more than anything else.....agar itna hi career pe focus hota toh all along hota.....no one asked her to sacrifice her career to babysit her Psycho Didi....she did that all on her own. Right now she's trying to hype this internship as the end all/be all of her career and the culmination of all her dreams....lol so we are supposed to forget in between how many times she was walking away from those dreams on her own and it was Adi that brought her back to her goals....lol.....we are instead expected to believe ki now she has understood the importance of waqt and mauka😆.
The ID card was one of those moments of vulnerability where she instinctively wanted to share a milestone/achievement with Adi.....but then khud ka vow yaad aa gaya of ending everything and chali gayi rone ek kone mein.....but the dialogues they gave her for that rona/dhona made it appear as if Adi is the one who kicked her out of his life....they could have done a better job of balancing the fact that this "lack of apne" is a situation of her own choosing since she walked away from them.
