My girlfriend (18F) and I (19F) are too stupid to fix our relationship

My girlfriend and I have been in a relationship for a year, and we are both extremely mentally ill and both have issues that truly cannot be handled right now considering we are in a global pandemic. We've been sitting here on facetime for like four hours trying to figure out a solution where we can talk about our problems and care for one another without overwhelming each other. This has been a problem for awhile and we do not know how to care for ourselves and each other at the same time. We communicate about what makes us upset constantly, which makes us both more upset because there's no solutions to most of our problems. Literally all we do is sit on facetime and cry. We don't want to break up because we love and care for each other very much, and we want to help one another, but simply put, we both are too smooth brain to figure out how to be in a healthy relationship where one person isn't being pushed under the rug. We aren't even long distance or anything. We're just dumb. Have you experienced something like this? Is there a solution we aren't seeing? Please give us suggestions because we're both so desperate we decided collectively to post on reddit.

Tl;dr: My girlfriend and I both have severe mental illness and just want to love each other in peace.
