Check out company’s EAP - zoom with a few buds to vent - do something mindless for you - can you delay the housing stuff? Have you told you partner openly how you’re feeling? Everyone else covered the exercise.
You said “stressful” home life and “boring” work life so maybe capitalize on the boringness and let work stuff slide or go on autopilot so you can focus on the home stuff.
You know everything work related is temporary - can always change projects, clients, specialities, etc. but the home stuff is for the long haul.
Do something active everyday in the morning. I've found my head is more clear when I do this and certainly foggy when I don't. As for the toddler, I understand. I'm learning for toddlers to have to try and have as much of a routine as possible and always give them a heads of of what is next. I.e. After you wake up we are going to have breakfast, read a book, and go to the park etc.
