Living? in trauma environment

Living? in trauma environment

So I've got nowhere else to live at the moment so I'm staying at home with my mum. However, she is the reason I have complex trauma issues and I get re-traumatised everytime I try and talk to.

I know I can't change her and I'm not, but I ignore her, I can't do anything else different. I wish I caught a break. I'm trying to move out because I know I will be able to heal away from this environment but I'm finding it hard to get a job. All jobs need experience and those that don't, the employers prefer employing younger people to save money.

I'm driving Uberx and UberEats every couple of days to make a bit of money but it's so inconsistent and I just don't know what else to do. I've been looking for almost 2 years for a job but only moved back home 8 months ago. I don't want to live here anymore but I can't find a way out.

I'm so sick and tired of living here and I feel my headspace has gotten worse since being here. I'm running out of options.
