I don't know where to even start. I have a background of abuse so I don't have a good relationship?

Question

...  with my father. I got pregnant at 16 and suffered from depression.

A couple of weeks ago, I was kicked out from my house.  I was kicked out because of a bad decision of not returning home so basically I did not sleep at home for one night. I could not enter onto the school premises because of unpaid school fees. 
  
I've been staying with my boyfriend and in our culture that's like the worst thing to do. We are like best friends we get along so much but just like any other couples, we step on each others toes. Lately it's been a bit too much. 

I'm moving out soon as he has to live with his children and I basically don't have a place to stay. 

With the history of depression, I am scared of what if I go to that dark phase of my life again. I don't know what to do. It's very hard to get a job that can sustain all the necessities of life without any qualifications. I'm scared that my life is falling apart. 

So I need solutions

Answer

First of all, don't give up hope.  Everyone goes through tough times, even though it doesn't seem like it.  Don't let a "mistake" of the past keep haunting you.  As someone who's-name-I-forget said "We create our own Ghosts".  If you haven't gotten your High School diploma yet, try getting your GED.  Then, if you can, take out some student loans and go to a Vocational School. They're very quick, cheap, and easy, (usually only like 1 1/2 years) and train your for jobs that are very high paying.  I hope this helps!
