I had the same thing happen in my game with Q-Ball - paratroops and armor caught, isolated and destroyed quite a few units. I managed to extract a good bit, though.
You're going to experience the "bad morale leads to a feeling of hopelessness leads to bad decisions which reinforce the hopelessness" scenario if you are a normal human being and relatively new to AE.
What you need to do is have a cleansing ceremony. Pretend like the old GreyJoy that got you into this mess has been removed from command. A new GreyJoy has assumed command. He knows he's in trouble but he'x excited by the challenge of making the best of it.
Your in a fix, but you need to look at this fresh in order to configure your best defense.
One other thing - you will never be pushed this badly again. You're learning alot and you will benefit immensely. So soldier on!
You're right CR: The old, tired and superb Admiral GreyJoy has finally been fired. Now we need a NEW MAN. 
Ok...another bad turn. And this time i got only myself to blame (not that before i had someone else ! :-) )
AFTER ACTION REPORTS FOR Apr 12, 13 42
My subs again missed twice against his oilers TF...or better...hits with no explosion...which is being a constant of this match so far
Then i forgot to give the orders to the last RN SCTFs from Cape Town...i don't know how i forgot this one but i did...uffff  ...it's like a cliff and i'm falling down and down and down...
Lost a CL and a DD for nothing...i sent them to a certain death...
The only good thing is that the little surprise at Addu Atoll paid the price...he landed 3 naval guard units that have been smashed by my defences...but i already know the story...he's now coming with his nuclear BBs...will nuke the place and will land a couple of divisions that will vaporize everything...well...i guess at least this sacrifice will make me gain few more days...
In China he finally attacked Chengtu...and forts are already falling...
