I don't know why I feel like this

I had my last baby (baby number 4) & was very much wanted, and had two miscarriages before he was conceived. He came after a large age gap of 7.5 years.
I feel like I just can’t cope. My fuse is short, I can get out of this constant anxiety fuelled state.
i used to be on top of everything! I never missed a trick! Now, i just cant be bothered, it seems too hard to even try. I need more support as I literally do it all, work part time, sort kids morning time lunches, school run, do the evening rush of tea bath bed. But hubby works unsociable hours and when he is home its like having another child.
I just feel like running away, i just feel like im in a constant state of stress!
I feel so sad and angry and feel like im just missing out on life

It’s ok. Our brain chemistry can be thrown off kilter with hormones, birth, stress.. go to your GP, get help. I couldn’t ever believe that antidepressants could help so much. You are worth prioritising. Can you get some help with the baby?? Babysitter? Get your bloods checked too, you might be anaemic .. I care about you, please go get some help.
