Well, lets see, you're stuck somewhere you don't want to be, with nothing but negative remarks thrown at you, and you feel trapped. That's why you're depressed and why you can't enjoy anything.
Are you seeing a therapist? That's really the most important thing you could do right now. A therapist can help you understand your feelings and give you advice. If you can't move out, you at least need someone to help you deal with your mom.You could probably find one at your school, or through a woman's center.
I've been in a situation where I lived with my mom and she only made negative comments too. I thought I was loosing my mind at one point. My therapist helped me get through that period, but more importantly helped me get the self esteem to move out.
I hope you'll see about getting one. If not for you, for your daughter. She is probably being effected by all this negativity too.
One thing that took me a long time to learn was just because she's your mom, doesn't mean you have to do what she says. You're an adult and you're responsible for your life, not her.
