Struggling with motivation

Hi, really struggling to be motivated at the moment. I have two young children who I’m at home with two days a week, and I just can’t seem to find the energy to do anything. My house is a tip, I feel I’m struggling at work, I feel like a crap mum because some days I can barely get in gear to go for a walk. I’m overweight and want to change but using food as a crutch at the moment. I’m not even excited about summer as nothing fits. I have counselling but I just feel flat. I’m excited about things opening and seeing friends again, but equally wondering how the hell I will fit in any kind of a social life when I’m already feeling stretched to the limit. My children don’t sleep well so I’m operating on coffee and fresh air some days. My partner is really supportive but sort of feels the same at the moment. I don’t feel depressed, just sort of lacking any lustre.
Am I the only one feeling this way? Anybody felt like this but managed to sort things out? How can I get a rocket up my arse?!
