4 month old and 4yo- mental health tanking, reassure me that better times are ahead

Good god it feels so relentless atm. 4 year old is in nursery most of the week, so never have to deal with both of them on my own but I'm still struggling to cope. Baby a terrible sleeper. 4 year old an absolute whirlwind and desperate for more stimulation at school.
Husband and I just beginning to realise that the logistics of 2 kids at bedtime etc means it's really hard even for one of us to sneak off and see friends in the evening.
All standard stuff. I knew what I'd signed up for. But it feels very bleak atm. I miss work, I miss talking to people, I miss feeling part of the world. Please can I have a handhold from someone who's been there?

Are your children’s vaccines up to date?

It gets easier. youll get to a stage where your youngest isn’t as needy and your 4yo is much more helpful and independent.

do you have anyone who can support you guys 1 day/night a week at all?
