I feel like I’m losing the plot

So I’m a single mum to 2 (6/4)I was working full time paying for everything with no help from housing for rent as I was doing 40hours.
3 weeks ago I was made redundant so now I’m job hunting again as I have responsibilities and do everything alone.

I need advice as I feel like I’m losing my mind. I’m super stressed about all the bills I have to pay including groceries etc. I live Alone with my little ones. Their father isn’t present in there life. I’ve reached a point where I’ve bottled everything up that 2 weeks ago I decided to up and leave for couple nights. Left the kids with my parents but 3 nights later came back to them.
I’ve noticed that the smallest things bothers me and I can’t handle things like I used to. I feel so down about everything. Is it wrong for mr to want a week without the kids to just go and de stress. Obviously they theology be with my family and parents who are happy to keep them. But I feel like I don’t know what to call this a mental breakdown or whatever but I know I’m not myself and I’m so stressed about it all. I’ll be walking and I’ll remember something and break down or snap at someone and I hate that feeling.
I’ve bottled it all up for do long that I feel like I can’t talk to anyone cos I feel like people might judge me I know or even might not believe how stressed I am cos of how well I bottled it up.

I know this is everywhere but whatever advice you can give will help.

Take a break!! If your family dont mind looking after the kids. Don't let it bottle up worse or you could explode in front of the kids. Everyone deserves a holiday
