To feel I'm not cut out to be a mum

Not sure of the point to this message but I suppose just talking to others who understand will help, also posted in multiple births but no reply as of yet.
I work for the nhs in CT/MRI , 26 hours per week, the rest of the time in lockdown with the twins. Partner is working from home and also looking after our 2.5 year old twin girls the days I'm at work with us having no childcare.
I'd been doing ok coping until last week when it felt like a volcano of emotions erupting inside of me and I've felt so depressed since.
We are exhausted, up with the girls lots in the night and sometimes (like today) they get up at 4am. Obviously due to lockdown we are missing the little bit of family support that we did have.
I should be hearing about some counselling through work this week, but suppose I just needed to vent before then.
I've got constant anxiety and feel like I'm trapped. Always snapping at the girls , then feeling guilty for doing it. I'm just finding this age so so tough. They don't listen, constantly pushing buttons and boundaries. (Sorry for anyone reading with younger twins, I used to hate reading things like this when mine were younger) thanks for reading if you got this far Sad

Hopefully you'll get your counseling sessions soon. And if you get more childcare from your sister and in laws that'll really help too
