I perfectly understand what you are going through. Life seems overwhelming many times. I am little bit in the same boat now as well.
I honestly don't know what to say to you right now - perhaps if you believe in God that might be a good refuge. I don't know if you have trust though.
Take it easy on yourself - though I know it is easier to say than to do.
Really, this world is full of troubles. One after anohter, in some form or another. And everyone has to go through it. It looks as if it is a very pessmimstic view of life, but actually you get lot of confidence from knowing that it is the same for everyone. And that everyone goes through it and survives. There is always some worry or the other in life - either about money, or about health, or about relationships, or about our own satisfaction, or about relatives, or about parents, or about kids. The list is endless. And the truth is, we don't really control too much of anything. Lot of it is given to us. AS they say, what you can do is just do your duty, without hanging on to the rewards for now. If you need to fire your secretary, just do it as a duty you need to fulfill.
That kind of attitude helps me somewhat.
