I'm New Here and Feel Out Of Control

...See more I'm at a very weird place mentally. I feel on the verge of a mental breakdown and have this feeling of dread all the time and it seems like something is sitting on my chest. Home life is stressful, trying to manage schooling and worrying if school will be in session in the fall. I'm so unqualified for this and my daughter will be in 1st grade. I'm worried she's not even retaining what she learned this semester before quarantine. How am I supposed to teach her new stuff? I'm not good at this and I don't have the patience. At work, things are completely messed up. I work on a pediatric unit at a community hospital. Long story short, my unit could be dissolved because of the virus. It may never come back. I feel so brokenhearted and helpless. All of this has made me angry, irritable, paranoid, and withdrawn. I can't even begin to describe the emotional rollercoaster. I just need things to go back to normal. I need some good news. I'm tired of it being a new horror every day. What I really need is a break from reality. I don't know how feel better. I don't even know if there is anything to be done that could make me feel better. It all feels so hopeless and that's terrifying. Like even as I'm writing this, I'm thinking "Is there even anything that anyone could say that would change how you're feeling?" I don't know what to do or who to turn to.
