Hello @Zono and welcome to the forums.
Living in a remote area does add challenges to what is already a difficult situation. As carers, getting some support and coping stategies can often be the difference between coping and not. There are on line psychology services who provide services to rural areas (a lot bulk bill with a mental.health plan from GP).
I will tag you in thread where others care for their adult children share.
Have you any hobbies/pets, I can tag you in some social threads too which you might enjoy.

Welcome @Zono, you've got support here. Thanks for sharing, and sorry to hear what you're going through at the moment, living remotely must not make things easier

Checking in to see how things are going @Zono, is there someone who is a trusted person who may be able to talk to your daughter and help out?

That's great that she is getting support from Headspace @Zono, how are you going? Have you been able to get some support for yourself as well?
