Why am I feeling so irritable all the time?

I recently started a new job and have been planning my wedding which is happening in less than a month. On top of trying to keep up with a fitness regime, walking my dog (who has also had health issues lately), keeping up with housework, errands, maintaining my side hussle and making sure there's food in the house. I just don't feel like I have the time for anything fun/relaxing and when I do get a small moment to myself, I start crying or keep thinking about all the things I should be doing. I'm feeling so overwhelmed by it all. My fiance has noticed and is trying to help me but I find myself distancing myself from my loved ones because I don't want to be snappy with them. Now I feel guilty because I am getting messages from my loved ones that they miss me and haven't seen me in a while. I went to the doctor but my only choices seem to be medication or counselling, which I can't really afford and I don't want to rely on drugs to feel better. Does anyone else feel this way? What helps you? I do yoga and meditate daily - which sometimes helps but that feeling doesn't last. TIAx

Does your fiance live with you? If he does, he's doing half of the household work, correct? Or is it just you who is doing everything?
