Is it advisable to marry a man who is already married with children to avoid falling into sin, especially after giving up hope of finding a husband and experiencing a deterioration in one's psychological state?

This world is a place of trial and test, and the wise person is one who understands its value and that it is a transient abode. One should look at the condition of those who are afflicted with greater trials than oneself. A Muslim possesses the weapon of supplication (du'a), and should engage in it frequently and avoid sins. There is no harm in accepting a righteous husband, even if he is already married. One should occupy their time with acts of obedience, reciting the Qur'an, reading beneficial books, and associating with believing women.
