Hi Suffocation, welcome to pc. I understand how you feel. Life is hard with depression. Someone once told me to take things one little piece at a time, one day at a time, one hour at a time. I think that helps some.
Don't bother with trying to be "perfect". It is too stressful and so highly overrated. I think depression tells you you have to be perfect all the time, and there is no such thing.
Take it slow, one thing at a time. Give yourself a loving pat on the back for everything you accomplish, big or little. Start with doing little things first and move up the ladder. And yes, you need to take care of yourself because your daughter needs you. She doesn't need you to be perfect, she just needs you. Mental illness is a struggle, but you shall overcome. God bless.
