I just graduated with a masters, and am now back home living with my mom, trying to find a job and become independent. As I have a very distant relationship with my mom and always have, and miss the people in life I'm close with very very much (they are all far away), I'm painfully depressed. I think it is partially because I'm an empath and sub-consciously absorbing all of my mom's negative energy. Today was a rough day of crying all day. I just feel unbelievably sad and empty. Does anyone have any tips on protecting myself so my empath qualities aren't constantly hurting me?

You can find plenty of links online to ways to protect an empath. Here is just one:

This is simple. I am not an empath but even I can recognize things like an energy vampire. I feel more tense around them and start shaking sometimes as they keep draining me. I think is my body trying to resist. I have a sister like that. She does it on ad off depending on whats going on with her sickness at the time. So sometimes, you can not totally avoid an energy vampire, thats why I found the suggestion of imagining yourself in a bubble interesting as I do the same. I know it can sound crazy to those who have never done it and had the success of it but using our minds in picturing things like this, even though they can't be seen by the human eye, actually do exist. That would be my greatest advice to you. I would imagine that bubble of pure God light energy surrounding me as a bubble that moves with me no matter where I go. This helps to protect against that drain and negativeness affecting you. I do have another example where I used the imagination to protect myself and it worked.
I attended a folk festival in town with my grown daughter and her bf, for her Birthday. It was not so crowded that people would rub shoulders or bump into each other. There were plenty of choices of where to walk. But no matter where I choose to walk, people kept bumping into me really hard. Not my 2 companions. only me. It continued until I finally got angry enough when I was looking at the good of a booth when someone I wasn't expected, almost knocked me over. I am not exaggerating. This actually was happening and had gone on for 2 solid hours, of about every 3 minutes having someone bump into me. So since this wasn't a protection against evil or negative energy, I did not use the bubble but imagined my middle with a large inner tube around it so people could bounce of that before they could get close to me. Then I felt that might not be enough and imagined something scary for their subconscious minds to pick up on. I placed sharp metal points standing out like rays attached to the inner tube with little flames coming out of the tips. Thats sounded dangerous enough. Once I thought that image into place around me and proceeded for the next 4 hours to enjoy my time there, not one, I say NOt One person ever wandered into my path or bumped into me ever again. So it doesnt matter really what you imagine but that you actually know and believe it will protect you and it will. People subconscious, even energy vampires will realize they are not getting anything from you and give up trying or shorten the time they are with you and look for another victim.
You mention lots of friends you miss. Isn't there any way to work towards a plan where you and some of these friends end up sharing an apartment together. The best solution would be to start now to set at least plans in place with others to do something like this. Then if its a matter of finding a job, I would search in the area's where these friends live (unless we're talking a totally different country), then it should not be a problem to relocate. Many people searching for jobs do not live in the city where the job is at currently but that should not stop you from applying. Once a company bites and wants you to come for an interview, you can let them know that you do not currently live there and will need to travel there for the interview and ask them to let you know with enough warning if they need to reschedule or something. You could stay with a friend while going for interview if an overnight thing. If you drive but don't have a car, rent a car. There shouldn't really be anything that can hold you back from pursuing a job in the area where all your friends are. If the money is great enough that you can afford places there on your own, then its all the more reason to find a way to get employment there rather than in the city where Mom lives. You do not have to live close to her. In the future, if she wants to visit, she can travel to you. Same goes for a Wedding, and future grandchildren.
