How do I stop feeling like this

I have absolutely no self confidence, motivation or drive. For the last few years things have slowly brought me down, to the point now where I feel I’m absolutely worthless.
I look in the mirror and I’m disgusted. There’s not a single thing I like about myself.
I’ve gained a lot of weight over the last year or so, I know how I can lose it, I’ve lost weight before but i just feel so low about myself that I don’t bother. I’ve had things happen that have been very damaging to me and I am struggling to get out of this head space.
I have 3 kids and struggle to keep the motivation to keep up with everything for them. I manage but I know I could be doing more. They deserve so much more, which in turn makes me feel even worse.
I guess my question is, are there any ways, or even books or anything anyone can suggest to get me out of this?
I plan it all out in my head what I’m going to do but I just don’t do it. I’ve been down before but this is next level.
I know no one can do it but me, but why does it feel impossible?

You need a doctor, you sound like you have depression.
You’re worth it, please seek help.
Someone described depression to me once as feeling like you are always walking up hill, everything is an effort.
Does that hit home for you?

You’ve described depression. It’s time for a trip to the GP for a proper chat.
