Husband and 2 kids driving me mad.

Hi 👋🏼
I'm after some sort of reassurance or advice here.
My husband has recently been diagnosed with anxiety disorder. I'm pretty sure he is a hypochondriac as a part of his anxiety.
My 3 year old is repeating everything that is said or done which isn't a great thing at the moment as our house is very stressful.
My 7 month old is a very needy baby also.
I honestly don't know where to focus my attention and how to even begin to fix things.
We have always been a happy and chilled family but more recently everything is a mess and I can see it's starting to affect our 3 year olds behaviour.
I always talk to my husband about issues but this time I feel it's a no go because of what he's going through.
I honestly feel a bit lost and drowned by trying to make everyone else happy. There's obv a lot more too it but I won't go into it all.
I just feel like a lot of the happiness is relying on me right now and I can't cope with it. I'm struggling with keeping my own head above water !

Also forgot to mention,I am a stay at home mum and I don't live anywhere near family. I haven't met any other mums near me because of covid. I am very much just me raising two kids. Which I don't think is helping the situation.
