  how can you let your children see you this way?
  they didn't ask to enter this world, and as a parent, you owe them better.
   
  GET HELP.  you need help.
  if you  can't do it for yourself, do it because you love your children too much to ruin their lives.

  I agree with Secret.....you HAVE a motivation now.....your kids can not see you in this conditions...so if you want to see them you have to do something... 

  It would be better for them not coming to visit you at all....

  You need help. Evidently you can't make it by yourself.

  And do it soon.

  You've posted here before about feeling suicidal and are still here (thankfully) to post about it again.
  
  You say that you don't want your girls to see you like this, then there's your motivation for getting help, doing what is needed to get your life back on track again.
  
  But don't just leave it as it is.

  Pontius, well hello first of all, sorry to meet on such terms.  Really, speaking as a daughter who has a father who has said similar things to her ... do yourself and your girls a favor and GET HELP.  Your girls don't need to see you this way, they need you to get help.  It's hard for you .... but it's hard for them too, and doubly so because in my experience, how do you tell your completely unhappy, suicidal parent that you're worried about them and frustrated because you can't help and that you're hurting ... when you know they're hurting too and you don't want to make them more depressed and push them to actually do the harmful things they want to do, even though it wouldn't truly be your fault.  Get help please.  Fine, you don't want to hear it, so I'm not here if you need to talk ... but if you have questions or want insight from where your daughters could be if you don't get help ... I'll answer your questions, for them if nothing else.  My dad is no picnic and I've just about given up on him, but if I can help somebody else NOT have to do that, I'm more than willing because I know how much it hurts.

  Get help.
  I've been back in Wichita for over a year now... "Getting help." I moved back here so I wouldn't cause more strain on LG than I already was. Back to this shithole.
  I've been trying and I think that trying and failing is wearing on me even more than not trying at all.

  Oldest is still planning on coming. Youngest daughter is thinking about staying here. She has fears about how it will be there and rightfully so. As much as she loves you, she just can't take on your demons. I told her I would never stop her from living with you but, I want to.
  I wish I had the answers to help you, I really do. I honestly feel that you have lost your right to end you life when your first child was born. Your life is no longer yours alone. A choice was made to include four others into it and ending it all would hurt them so badly. You would not be saving them from anything!
  Your children aren't ignorant. They have seen things that you thought were hidden. Yet, they carry this hope that one day you will be better. That You will find away to be happy again. I wish you believed in yourself the way they do.

  Well i don't know if i should apologize for saying it or not. I didn't know that it was the wrong thing to say to you. I didn't know that my attempts to help were just that...pathetic. But I'm still not giving up. I'll be there to bug you any chance you give me.

  Be there for others! Do you think that you have it bad!? Dream on!
  No matter how bad it might seem to you... someone has it much, much worse!
  Let them know that you are there for them even to rant!
  Pitty partys not allowed, but once a month! ( only )
  Like it or not I AM HERE FOR YOU!

  you dont need help hun.
   
  what you need is some confidence.
   
  where you find it and how you get it, is work
   
  lotsa work and just that.
