For what it's worth, I can hear your scream. I have felt what you wrote more times than I can count. I know what it feels like to be worn and full of self hatred.
I, too choose life at times simply for the sake of my child. I see his gentle sensitive soul and I couldn't bear to cause him such pain. It may not be the best reason to keep on hanging on, but to me at least, it is a good-enough reason.
Other times, I realize how sad it would be to never see the view from a mountaintop, or a waterfall, or laugh with a friend one more time.
Take care of yourself, ensoul. Curl up with a doll, if that helps. Tell yourself how special you are, the way you would tell your daughters.
