Life is a temporary problem, nothing ever gets better for me
Yes it does. But you'll never see it if you end your life. You won't see your daughter grow. You won't see what will make you happy.
First off, the payment you made, was it etransfer or cheque or cash? If you have proof of giving it, get it ready and save it. Even if it is just text messages saying they got the money. Save it. Next payment you report to whoever you need to that you paid her.
Go to enforcement or courts and say ex isn't letting you see your daughter. Ask the school to help if you have an agreement.
Do you have benefits from work? If so, then you most likely have an Employee Assistance Program (EAP). Use it. Seriously. Use it. Some would help with finding lawyers and paying for legal advice and mental health counseling. Don't have those benefits? Keep talking here.
Get right back on your feet. You'll get through this. This isn't forever.
Don't end your life. Your daughter needs a father. No one can replace you to her.
