Hi Annaluna,
I understand what you have been going through. I think sometimes when one does not have a structure in their life, things to keep them busy, chances of self-doubt and insecurity further increase, which does lead to depression. I can say this because I have gone through patches of times like this. However, what I found useful in the meantime is that you should (even by yourself) do things that you liked to do. I found comfort in cooking, in exploring a city. Hey, you just moved to a new place. I would take this opportunity and explore, explore, explore. What should you explore? When I was alone and depressed, I explored restaurants, tried new cuisines, found events that were happening in the city, and would come home to talk to my long-distance bf at that time. But, the only way to fight depression is to fight it, to take action of your situation and really think about if this is the relationship you want.
I am not in an abusive relationship, but I have been in one. The best decision I had made was to remove myself from the person who was toxic to my self-esteem.
I am trying to deal with my own decisions, feelings, and decisions. However, I find that by taking steps to do things you love like reading a book, having a coffee, going for wine-tasting (these are my particular favorites as examples), essentially, by doing something that you love to do or you have loved to do in the past that would bring smile to your face when you did it, I would suggest make a list of those and enjoy them.
I realize that emotional problems are difficult to deal with, and even I myself am going through a major struggle (s) in my life, but I can say with full confidence that life is too short. The only way to feel change by changing the way you live your life, and no one can do that beside you.
