I,m a 37 year old male facing a number of issues. I live with my mother who is very dependent on me financially and emotionally. Although my girlfriend says she loves my mother, my girl says that she is too involved in our lives, and I agree. Eventually my girl would like to move out with me but that would mean that I would have to leave my mother. I have other relatives but my mother can't even think of living with any of them. On top of all that, I really hate my job and of course I'm going through major depression. What could I do? Is it wrong for me to even think of leaving my mother?

I guess it would be more of, why is she with you? why is she dependant of you? where will she go?
It seems your unhappy with quit a bit in your life, your job too. Maybe working on yourself and explaining to mom you and your girl need more space? You said your girl said she was to involved, how about you? What do you think. You should not have to choose between them, and maybe you need to look at all angles. Just who is the selfish one? I assure you, putting mom on the street is not going to solve your problems.
I also try to visualize some point after the anxiety-inducing problem has passed, it doesn't matter if I think the problem can pass or not, I just make myself visualize being through it.
