I want to do good for them, I want everything to be nice and just how they want. I don't want anything to ruin their happiness. But all they want is me to be happy and I can't do it. I love them so much.

I wish never have existed, it would be ideal. They would be happy anyway.
There's nothing wrong with feeling sad or anxious. If you just let yourself feel it, it's not so so bad. If you get all worried, try to fight it, try to overcome it, you'll get much more tripped up. When you build up your expectations and hopes that this day will be free of any problems (1) you're being unrealistic - everyone has issues come up and (2) you set yourself up for resistance and disappointment. The better thing to do is just to watch it and to understand that you're suffering, and that it's okay to be suffering. Then you can get your mind around your mood issues.
