Reducing your days sounds like a step in the right direction - at least it leaves you free to do things you want to do for a little while. Could you use that half day as a self-care day, and focus on looking after yourself or doing something nice just for you? Even if that's just watching your favourite TV show all afternoon!

I can very much sympathise with the SH urges and having to keep it together in front of people. It's good that your husband is being supportive, even if he doesn't really know what to do.

I don't have much advice to give but I am always happy to listen!
