There is a difficulty slider. Or is it already down to the lowest setting, because even on the easier setting it can still be somewhat difficult. The Morrowind combat system is kind of hard to get used to, I agree, I recommend buying a healing spell and healing potions as soon as possible. As for weapons, I would stay away from daggers as you have to get too close to the enemy to deal damage, with a longsword you don't need to be too close to deal damage, but just close enough. I use the Stalhrim Longsword, but that can only be obtained via the Bloodmoon expansion. The reason I use that weapon is the high damage that it deals. (Chop, Slash, Thrust). A typical weapon I can suggest would be the Glass Longsword or Ebony Longsword.
