I'm sorry that you're experiencing so much sadness. Finding a job is hard for everyone right now. Even though technically we are no longer in recession, the economy is still hurting and many companies are keeping their current employees or even losing a few to save money. KEEP LOOKING. Even if you have to get dressed up and go out to a few companies every day. Don't rely on applying on the internet alone, sometimes you have to be seen to get an interview. Go out dressed professionally and always with your resume-- this will give you at least some motivation to get pretty, dress up, and get out of the house. There's nothing that will get you down more than staying home in bed all day and although it will take some energy, you'll see that getting out of the house will help.
Your hospital episodes sound like you've had a lot of stress with anxiety which makes it even more important to break this vicious cycle. You may not necessarily have to go on medication, but I do think that it would benefit you to see a psychologist or psychiatrist-- if nothing else but to have someone to talk to. I don't know if you have health insurance, but a lot of them will work with you on a sliding scale-- just take the time to call a few around your area, open up to them the same way you just did with us here at EmpowHer, and you'll find that at least one will be willing to help.
Your relationship with your boyfriend may be playing a bigger role in your depression than you may think it is. The fact that you aren't happy, you are being verbally abused, and you can't figure out how to get out is bringing you an incredible amount of anxiety. Think about what reason you have to stay-- is it because you don't have a job? If so, get on the ball and get out there. When you finally do have a job then I think you'll find that push that you need to move out on your own.
