Can't do it anymore

I just can't do it anymore.
I'm so tired.
I'm so overwhelmed with dealing with my child who isn't even that bad compared to others that I don't have any mental energy to do the food shop or sort the house.
She has trouble regulating her emotions.
She'll show me disrespect cos she's always angry.
She says sorry but it keeps happening.
She tells me to shut up/says things she doesn't mean when she's angry. Directed at me of course.
I don't know if I should accept Early Help at this point.
She's lovely apart from this.
But I'm so tired. It took an hour to get her to bed cos when she's in this state of mind it doesn't switch off like that.
So tired of staying calm. The other way doesn't work. But consequences don't work either. Cos it's in that state of mind.
I know I need to do the food shopping tonight but I know I won't do it cos I'm so exhausted.
She's 9
