Fed up and feeling overwhelmed

Not really sure what the point of this thread is but I am just feeling so fed up with everything at the minute.
I am absolutely exhausted with life in general. DH has just lost his job, he has got another job but doesn't have any pay for 2 months due to when it starts and we don't really have much in the way of savings due to me being a student.
I am at the end of over 6 years of training and study(only 3 months left) and I will finally (hopefully) qualify. I am in the middle of all my final exams and feeling so stressed and tired from the constant study. I am also studying for a masters at the same time and getting to the end of my dissertation and all the stress that brings.
One of my DC is being particularly challenging at the minute. She has SEN and has been extremely hard work. It has been constant the last few months and I am getting to the point where I am having panic attacks about everything after the DC have gone to bed.
I am overweight. Over 13 stone, I have never in my life been this heavy before, I have always been a size 10-12. I am so ashamed at how fat I have let myself get and I just don't have the energy or time along with everything else to do anything about it.
I am constantly worried about money, DC, uni and it honestly just feels like life isn't fun anymore. Some days I dream of just walking away and leaving everything behind. I don't really mean it but I just wish things didn't have to be so hard. I don't know what to do about it, I just feel so overwhelmed

You are so impressive, doing all that studying and with children and one with additional needs. No wonder you are knackered!

I am so glad your DH found another job, I hope you can stretch the money out til his new wages start.

I am not surprised you are at the end of your rope, you have done the life equivalent of a marathon - remember how Paula Radcliffe looked in the final mile? Ihope you can make it over the finish line, you really deserve to qualify!

And it is OK to feel overwhelmed, if I ever felt like that I would call Samaritans for a cry.

Things will look different once you’ve finished your studying.
Dissertation and finals all at the same time sounds overwhelming without all the other stuff going on.
Just hang in there. Focus on your studies and dc and worry about the other stuff until afterwards.
You could try to up your fruit and veg so you’re getting vitamins and try to have something to look forward to over the weekends, just to help you get through the next few months.
You’ve done amazingly well so far. Just a bit more to go. Flowers
