My anxiety has gone through the roof

Returned to work after maternity leave to some very demanding clients, my 5 year old does not stop talking, so much so I can't think straight, my 11 month old is stuck to me like glue when I'm at home since starting nursery and cries if put down, my mother seems ill and is unable to help, my partner is stressed at work and in pain awaiting an operation, the baby still wakes at night and DH helps at night but it's still relentless, I'm breastfeeding, my kids have allergies, DH is messy and takes on far too much and is exhausted, I have aches and pains throughout my body- probably due to stress but I don't know so Im anxious about that and I have a birthday party to plan and host in 2 weeks time.

When the children are demanding of me at the same time I get so stressed I physically shake, I am worrying about work and working hard to meet the demands of my clients who are non-communicative but seem to have very high expectations. I have half painted a room in my house which I am yet to finish. I'm out-sourcing where I can- cleaner etc but I'm struggling.

I need to do something before I burn out and I cant speak to DH who has struggles of his own.

What can I do before I crack?

Oh God poor you! I recognise this myself. Can you just stop & take a few days off work as a little break now might save a very big break later if you carry on at this pace & crack. I wish myself that I had done that & possibly got some therapy & had some time for me as it could have made all the difference.
