Don't give up. It's okay to feel stuck for awhile, but don't stay stuck. I was in a similar boat before, I probably submitted 50 applications per day until someone hired me..for 3 months I was jobless but I never gave up...that was 3 years ago. I have anxiety/depression for as long as I can remember. Find a job that you love to do or close to your passions... Right now I have a job that probably anyone would dream of, but salary isn't everything. It's mental health for me... so I've been silently applying to jobs that I think I might love even though I'm stressed. You know, like if you only had to do one thing in this lifetime, what would it be... I wish you the best.

I’m so sorry, you are dealing with a lot. A “shrinker” isn’t going to help you except take your money. Join some groups, community center in your city, see what is going on at the library, take walks in the neighborhood, Make or take care of a garden in your mother’s yard. Stay busy in a schedule.
Spend X amount of time gardening, X amount of time looking for work, X amount of time activity involved in things in your community/city, find a local church to attend (churches have a lot of activities). Schedule everything in to a daily routine. Keep the house clean for your mother. Just get out of the pit your in. There is also a book by Beth Moore you can read relating to this - ‘GET OUT OF THAT (or the) PIT’. It’s a good book.
Go find your balance
Same here tho I live alone, I can barely feed, had a terrible break-up experience with my boyfriend and it's so laughable that bills don't stop coming in
