Struggling with my life and being alone.

Up until three months ago I was a happy mum working full time with a supportive DH who was very hands on with DD. Fast forward 3 months and I am a lone parent with no job struggling with life. I lost my job in June and my husband left me and my DD (6) 12 days ago. I have haven't slept more than 3 hours a night since, have lost 1 stone in weight and spend all day crying under blanket on my sofa. My daughter knows nothing and I am trying to carry on for her. Doctor prescribed anti depressants and I have been taking them for a week.
Yesterday was so bad I felt I wanted to rip my skin off.
I am anxious about everything, including telling my beautiful, confident daughter that Daddy is not coming home and its het birthday on Thursday. I still dearly love my husband.
On top of this I am trying to look for a job.

I am a fucking mess !

I am so sorry you are going through this, I wonder if you should post this in relationships as you will get a lot of advice on there from
People in are in a similar situation/ have been in the past and it seems to get a lot more responses than this one.
As for antidepressants they can make you feel worse before better but don't be scared about going back to your doctor and telling them you would like to try something else, they do help greatly to get you through these situations.
I'd they any chance you and Dh can sort things out, has he left in the heat of the moment??
I'm really sorry, be kind to yourself, do you have friends/ family nearby?? Xx

Thanks Louisa, DH says no chance, it has been over for him for months but he just didn't tell me he was unhappy.
I feel like my world has fallen apart.

No one else, I believe him as we spend all our time together, he is staying with his parents.
