Depression is sort of a response to your thinking...let's look at what you are thinking...

I can't move out of my mother's house
I stay with a boyfriend who will not work
I want my son to be proud of me, but I am helpless to do anything about it.

That would depress anyone...HOWEVER, you are NOT helpless

Open your Bible and read the following passages

Phillipians 4:6-8
Are you truly doing this? Anxiety is our decision to believe God is not trustworthy.

James 1
How are you applying all of this to YOUR life? What things do you need to let go of? What things do you need to believe honestly? What things do you need to be more consistent in?

Phillipians 4:13, 19
Applying these things to your thinking...how does that change your helplessness? Who do you believe? YOU or God? If you believe YOU, go back to James 1 and see how that will help you...if you believe God, then why are you not acting on that faith?

I live in So Jersey, I know that things are expensive...perhaps you might think of moving somewhere where life is less expensive. OR maybe look for a different job, get different skills, make a short, medium and long term plan for your educational and personal future...and get rid of the boyfriend...he is certainly a BOY but not a FRIEND..a man who LOVES you will work 5 jobs just to help you out....LOVE is an unselfish act....you are loving him...who is loving You?
