Keep your head up. It will get better eventually. Get out and walk or do some other exercise. Find a good church and surround yourself and your kids with a good support group.
As tough as all that you’re going through is, there is always someone who knows what you are going through. You need a good Christian support group or Sunday School group to help you. God knows what you are going through. He will help you get to a good place.

Keep on keeping on! Thats all you can do. Reach out if you need, just like you did here, there is always someone who cares!

Having a very hectic/shitastic/emotional rollercoaster of a year myself, and I'm already eternally jaded to boot, so I can relate in my own way. Meaning, we all eventually have our own chains that we will be tasked with breaking/being shackled to in this life, and IMO,
In the end, a man has to somehow, someway, keep the flame of the will of the human spirit lit and use that light to trudge forward. Life is the greatest contradiction that the known universe has ever seen: It is the best of times, and it is the worst of times, but only one of those times is a GUARANTEE.
Hard times, very hard times, will come to ever man and woman who'll ever live a day in this world, and so that, along with my remembrances during hard times of the futility of my pursuit of "being happy" (whatever "being happy" actually is) gives me solace and rest in its own weird, twisted kind of way- and it's how I personally put that one foot in front of the other.
You'll find your way. We all do...or we don't.

Only thing I know to do is get up every morning and put one foot in front of the other and pray for strength.

Exercise....lots and lots of exercise, especially resistance training.
Also, lots and lots and lots of time outside.
Turn off the television as well.
Nothing wrong with the Bible BTW....
Good luck and don't give up hope.

Just hang on man. If not for yourself, your babies need you.
Hearing “daddy, please don’t leave me” gets me in the gut every time.
I know it’s not easy, but hang on. Hang on another moment. Then another minute. Then another hour.
And before long the dark night will be over and the dawn will break.
Brother, I’ve been there. I’ve been in that deepest darkest pit of despair and stared into the abyss...
And I turned away from the false promise of the pain being over. Because if I had taken that step, the pain would have done nothing but amplify, like ripples in a pond from dropping a stone.
Your children, your family, your friends.
Trust me, if you hang on and fight through you’ll get out the swamp.
And just think, you might even get to watch LSU win it all again

I'm in same boat. Recovering from covid, laid off. No social life or sex life.

Taking psychoactive substances can help people deal with difficult times. In my early 20s I used MDMA a lot to help with feeling like shite. LSD then proved to help me expand and understand my purpose even further. Might be extreme to some but has been very helpful for me in terms of perspective.

Find something to do with your kids and pour your heart into it.
Help or become a coach for your kids in sports. Soccer, Softball, baseball, anything...
Jiu-Jitsu is phenomenal exercise for example and you should do it with them. Plus, girls are really good at this and excel quickly over boys.
You start doing that heavily and nothing will bother you. You drag your arse after some tough sessions and you can manage anything coming your way.

exercise is a great stress reliever...get yourself a bike or start jogging/walking
This right here. Just getting outside for a walk, take the kids and hit a park, get some sun. Working out and/or running is a great stress reliever...believe me.
And not to sound insensitive but just think that no matter how bad you have it...someone has a worse situation. Keep your chin up, work through it...brighter days are ahead.

Been shitty year for ne too. I fall into depressive ruts fairly often but usually I’m able to refocus quickly and snap out of it. Not this year. I just can’t get inspired.

Exercise is amazing medicine for the old brain. I find that even a simple 15-20 minute cardio or resistance workout will instantly improve my state of mind.

OP I felt the same way during the recession. Just one thing after another. You are healthy and your kids are not dying so it can always get worse. Hopefully this Covid doesn’t last as long as that recession and you can get back to earning a good income for an employer that treats you good. Life sometimes punches you in the mouth and you can either choose misery or accept the challenge to get up off the ground. If I were to recommend something to read it would be Control Theory by Dr. William Glasser. It’s a short read about controlling your mind to choose happiness or misery. You often can’t control a lot of what you have been through but you can control how you think because you can’t get all depressed about things you absolutely had no control over. Those were the cards dealt to you like it or not and how you respond is truly up to you.
