My mom has had depression and anxiety for all my life and more. She has to deal with a lot and her crazy ex-husband, aka my dad only makes things worse (although that’s for another time).
We were never financially well off, but now it’s worse than ever, at least with my mom. She’s already working two jobs she’s unhappy with and has told me that she’s looking for another currently. Just minutes ago, she told me that she’s sorry for being such a faliure; she’s sorry for failing everyone. Well, she was technically talking to our dogs, but I overheard.
My brother is probably the most ungrateful person I know and who set off my mom’s break down just now. My mom tried to make us something for dinner from what we had in the house, she hates to cook, like really hates it, but she tried since we don’t have money to get anything. I liked the food, but as always, my brother didn’t and refused to eat it. When he does this, my mom feels guilty for not being able to feed him.
Overall, my mom has a million problems, but she’s stil a good person. At least I think and hope so.
I just feel so bad since I can’t help her. I can’t even help myself with my miniscule problems, how can I help her? I try my best to be kind to her and everyone around me, get good grades, help around the house, but it never feels like enough. I don’t know how to and probably can’t help her. But I want to try. If I wasn’t around, I’m sure she’d be much better off.
I really don’t know what to do, so if you have any ideas on how I can help her, please tell me. Anything’s appreciated. Thank you in advance.

It sounds like you are already doing everything you can. You sound like you are very appreciative and grateful for your mother's hard work. Let her know it doesn't go unacknowledged. Hang in there, it can only go up from here.
