Feeling overwhelmed

Pretty common situation here. 2 parents who work full time. 2 primary aged children. But I'm feeling completely and utterly overwhelmed. We have hardly any spare cash. The house is a state, I can't even have people round. Lots of 'normal' things like that. But I've run out of motivation. I can't be bothered anymore. I just want life to be over, I don't want to commit suicide or anything but if I could press fast forward and zoom to the end I would. Already on 60 mg of Fluoxetine. Is this normal for an exhausted mum in her 40s, or AIBU that life should be more meaningful?

You’re not alone. It is common but you’re doing all you can. I’m in my 40s with 2 under 4 and working full time. I’m behind on all chores and exist hour to hour. What can you do? Have to keep going. This is life but definitely the hard part!
