Coping with 2 children

Hello,
DC1 is 3 nearly 4 and DC2 is 4 months old. I think I had been coping well but the last few days have felt a bit angry/sad/not myself?
OH works v long hours so it's me from get up to bedtime in terms of childcare and I am finding the days VERY long snd relentless. Then I worry that each day is going to be like this? My baby sleeps well but I have never been a good sleeper so often feel tired too.
I know things will get better when we are less ruled by nap times/milk times etc and also aware that the greyness of winter has started.
Any tips/advice? I don't think it's PND but if continues I have no qualms about going to doc. I called my OH in tears this morning and we are going to talk about it later. I guess I am just asking if anyone has experienced similar. DC1 goes to school nursery each morning but afternooms are hard as DC2 naps then it seems to be 3pm!
TIA

Bump - have been tearful for a few days now. Am I just having a low few days? How do you know if it is PND?

Hi, mine are 2.5 and 12 weeks old- I am finding it all very hard work. My eldest is at nursery 3 mornings a week but the afternoons just drag and I feel like I’m constantly trying to keep my toddler entertained so I can get the baby to sleep.

I did so much more on my previous maternity leave- groups/classes etc but I just don’t have the energy or enthusiasm this time around.

How are you feeling now?
