T&p's please

Things are pretty rough right now. DH has suffered from an anxiety disorder and depression for a few years now. He had been fine since last fall and then suddenly started having panic attacks again last Friday.
On top of that, he is going to a work training for the first 2 weeks of dec and my mom was supposed to come stay to help me and watch LO while I'm at work. I got a call from my aunt tonight telling me my mom is manic for the first time in years (she has suffered from seasonal bipolar & PTSD for years but has been stable).
I talked to my mom and she is no longer coming, which is a good thing...that could have been a disaster.
I could just use some thoughts and prayers to get me through the next few weeks. DH went back on anxiety meds and until he stables out a bit it's pretty much me taking care of LO. Also t&p's my mom can get herself back to a healthy state.
If any of you suffer from or have someone close to you who suffers from one of these disorders, I'm sure you know how difficult it can be to handle daily life with that person.
I'm just feeling overwhelmed. I know I can do this and we will be ok...I just haven't figured out how exactly. It helps just to be able to put it out there... Anyway, t&p's appreciated.
