Thats a hard one ... 15 jobs in 4 years tells employerers (and I am one) that you are not interested in holding a job or that you really don't know what you want out of a job. The best thing in my mind that you could do at this point is list as many as you can, but in the experience section, just say that you are a fast learner, willing to learn hope for the best. A job doesn't have to pay well to be a good job, the best job that you can ever have is one that you love to do, and it sounds like you have hired on doing a lot of what you don't like to do. If the job that you want is above your education level that you have, the best thing that you can do, is accept a lower paying job that you know will keep money coming in, and look into joining some classes that will train you for what you are really interested in. It will take a lot of work on the will power part, but the pay off in the end is you will have a job that you love, and enjoy doing which in turn will please your employers and help keep the raises coming.

Specifically about your resume - looks like you want a resume that IS NOT CHRONOLOGICAL!!!!!
You want a skills summary resume where you list the skills you have, then the jobs where you demonstrated those skills.
Having a little baby is enough to make you feel alienated from and out of step with society. But truthfully, you are because you KNOW MORE, ARE DEEPER NOW, have more to offer as a person. These strange feelings are the growing pains in the birth of your adult character.
My observation from your questions I've read this evening - and they're only a few sentences each, so i very well could be wrong - is that you are still depressed or at least you have a depressed person's approach to things (overwhelmed, hopeless, helpless, mountain out of molehilling.)
None of us can just stop being a certain way - we need a behavior to aim for. We can't "not feel overwhelmed," we have to "make a list of options when" we feel overwhelmed. Or just drop it and play with the baby when you feel overwhelmed. Get grounded, remember what's important.
Do you have to go back to work? Depressed moms really deprive their infants and toddlers of a lot, because what little ones need is that reciprocity, that call and response, that person who hears them and reflects back when they hear. Your baby is probably still waiting for so much from you. If you add work to your recovery and child rearing, is this a path back to greater health or is it a trap to ensure you fail in all areas that are important to you.

go back to school sweety, that would be your best bet. see your couselor and find out what you would be best in.. also go to therapy and take care of your deppression. that might be why you are not happy anywhere. take care, and god bless you and your beautiful lil one...
