Do you have a therapist you are working with? I looked at your profile and you have had some real struggles in your past, you need to make sure that you get the right therapy for all of that. This waking up feeling hopeless like this means that you really need help.

As far as your daughter is concerned, her reaction is because of her "fear" and lack of knowing how to handle this struggle you are having. You cannot allow your children to keep you from getting help. Actually, they need to see you reach out for help when you are struggling like this.

If you don't have a therapist and you are are feeling so low like this than a visit to the ER that will put the wheels in motion to help stabilize you and find an outpatient therapist that can help you with this.

The other concern I have is that you are at the age where you can also be going through hormonal changes that can make this feeling/struggle even more of a challenge. So you need to find help with this because there IS help out there for you.

You really need to reach out, don't try to sort this out on your own or think that you shouldn't because of what your children think or feel, they are not specialists and obviously do not understand that you really do need help.
