Im a single mom going through a spiritual awakening and feel so lost and depressed.?

After two years on my awakening I feel like Ive discovered my potential. I took out 6 months to figure out what I wanted for my daughter and I. I also focused on giving my daughter more attention. I realised though that my mom didn't prepare me for life. She also gave up every easily when she got .m.s. She is little to no help because she's so negative. I have a plan to get myself in a happy place financial. But everyday I fail at going to apply for a new job( out of my comfort zone) Perhaps im afraid because for once im actually ready to be on my own but nobody in my family made it. however I have big plans on modeling. I know I have talent but I feel lonely. It feels like everything is so sensitive to me now and it effects my day. I have one best friend who i talk to occasionally but I feel like nobody understands me or can give me the right support. if not that then I feel they envy me or try to be nosey. To make it worse I chose to move in with my mom rent free to eventually save up for a house but its so eerry at our complex. I cleanse my space but still can't get comfortable. I know the solution is to get a job but I feel so burdened and tired. Ive accomplished so much that most couldn't but this time im taking on a bigger role and that's being a mom. Im only 23 my daughter is 3. Everyday I feel like im failing her because im so lost and depressed :(. On top of that Im surrendering to a twin flame. Who ive caused myself lots of stress due to being in this dark space!

    The first step is always the hardest.  How are you going to save money for a house when you are not working?  Saving for a house will take yrs & yrs.  Saving enough money to move out from under your moms roof should be the first priority.  You want to stand on your own two feet but you can't do that if you rely on your mom.  Don't let apron strings keep you at your moms.  Break free & take that first step.

    Now is a great time to look for a job.  Lots of places are opening up & they need employees.  Lots of places are hiring now.  You can almost pick the job you want.

    You can talk to a therapist about it. They could help you find new ways of thinking or coping. I know job searching can sometimes be that task you don't want to do. What helps me is listening to my favourite music in the background and then I search away and apply for jobs. To make your space comfortable maybe buy a nice big fluffy pillow or two. It looks pretty and feels comfy. Get a cute rug. Put music on in your room sometimes, music that makes you feel at home. Perhaps you're not getting the right nutrients or enough nutrients in your diet? You could make daily to do lists or brainstorms and every time you've completed a task, tick it off. It helps build that sense of having achieved your tasks for that day. It gives you a sense of progress. Listen to motivational videos. Listen to Tony Robbins.
