Hi a1
You need to speak to your GP and get a referral for counselling. There's no magic answer to this, but you need to learn how to deal with your situation so you can begin to move on. It also won't be quick, it's small steps to start with.
I just want to back up what actd has said. A counsellor will help. Even if it's just someone to speak to for an hour each week with no judgement, it does make a difference. It does take time, but it sounds like you love your daughter, so it's worth doing to have that quality of life you both deserve with one another. Hang in there, and keep focusing on the happiness in your life that is your little girl.
