How to lose weight during depression

Hi y'all. Just wondering if anyone who has done this before can throw me a bone or two.

The past 5 years have been incredibly hard on me. I'm 23, divorced, and parenting a toddler by myself. I've been desperately wanting to get in shape/lose weight but I fail no matter what I do. I manifest binge eating habits when my depression/stress worsens so I'll go through periods of overeating and starving myself. I tried to do couch to 5k and couldn't stick with it because depression. Ive tried keto. I've tried CICO. I've tried intuitive eating (just incorporating more healthy foods and not triggering myself with calorie counting) but it always gets trashed when the week long depressive episodes come through.

I used to really love powerlifting but I don't have the time or resources to do that now that I have a kid, and that's really the only exercise I've ever enjoyed. I feel so terrible about myself and I know I have to do something to change it, but I don't know how to get through this.

(I also know I should be seeing a therapist or something, but I don't have the time/money/resources for that either)

I just need to know that it's possible for me to lose the weight and feel physically capable of completing something for myself. TIA <3
