Struggling

Had a really hard 6 months. Both my parents been very ill. One critical but now recovering. Lots of stays in intensive care. Very hard. Now at home and I am supporting them. Have fallen out with my sibling as they don't help and it's fallen to me. Feel I've had to make all the decisions and get care support in place.
I'm married with pre teen children so trying to do everything. I'm absolutely exhausted, to the point I'm unwell myself.
My husband has been amazing, extremely supportive and fabulous. But shockingly he lost a parent at Christmas. Completely unexpectedly. And now I can't support him. I keep falling asleep- he sees this as me not caring and not prioritising him. I'm signed off work with stress. I love him, he's fabulous but I am so rubbish. I just feel empty. I have nothing to give. He's very angry, and quite rightly at me. He's supported me so much and I can't seem to support him, even by staying awake. I'm so sad.

For energy I’d get some vitamin B complex, and some magnesium glycinate before bed. How old are you? Have you had your thyroid/iron/B12 checked recently?

I'm 48. Have bloods checked recently and all fine. I'm just emotionally worn out.
