Your girlfriend obviously sees something worthwhile in you and her relationship with you, because otherwise she'd have given into her mother's horrible nagging a long time ago. Whether or not other guys "could offer her more" in some respects doesn't matter, if she's getting what she wants from you. People aren't interchangeable, and someone who was wealthier or more popular or more conventionally-attractive wouldn't necessarily make her happier. She's with you because she wants to be with you.

I do hope you'll try to talk to her about how you're feeling. If she truly cares about you, she won't think you're "weak or fucked up" for having a hard time with everything going on in your life (and I say this as the girlfriend of a guy with serious depression, who has been suicidal before).

I'd also suggest asking her to talk to her mother about the tremendously inappropriate behavior the mother is displaying. It's wrong for her to constantly insult and put down someone her daughter cares about, and try to meddle in her daughter's relationship this way, and it's making you (understandably) feel awful. That's not okay.

I sympathize with your job-searching difficulties, and unfortunately the only real advice I have is to keep at it. Keep updating your resume, expanding your skills, and sending those applications, and I think it'll pay off eventually. Good luck in the meantime.

Yeah, if you've got an active restraining order against this girl, definitely keep a record of each time she violates it, and bring that information to the police. Stay safe, Anon.

If your health insurance allows for it, it might also be helpful for you to talk to a professional about these feelings you've been having - especially if you don't feel comfortable talking to your girlfriend about them right away. Sometimes medications can make the stressors that contribute to depression easier to deal with, and a therapist might be able to teach you some techniques that could make it easier to cope with the problems you're experiencing. At the very least, it sounds like having a non-judgmental person to talk about your feelings and problems with and who might offer you some useful advice could be beneficial.

Please take care of yourself, Anon. I hope things go well for you. <3
