I don't know how much longer I can keep pretending

I suffer with depression and anxiety, and have been on nd off anti depressants since I was a teen.
Dds dad kicked us out in October and my mental health has taken a massive turn for the worse.
I just feel like I can't keep up this pretence of "I'm okay, it's okay, we're all okay" anymore. My wonderful friend has taken us in (I pay her rent btw I'm not freeloading) and living with her and her partner is fine, they both love dd to bits, and although we would be welcome to stay longer I just feel now like we are taking the piss.
The council class us as homeless but because we have accomosation, we have less priority than those who are in a worse situation than us, obviously, and I feel like the whole bidding process is futile.

I really feel like I just can't go on like this anymore. I've been awake since 5am and I just can't stop crying. I'm letting dd down, and even though she's such a perfect, happy and laid back child, I'm worried that how I feel is going to start showing and it's going to start affecting her.
