I feel completely overwhelmed & stressed out dealing with two kids pretty much by myself. I feel like when I ask for help no one is listening or they just laugh it off. I really haven’t been eating which is bad because I’m breastfeeding. I just don’t know what to do anymore.

Adjusting from 1 kid to 2 is frustrating. I can absolutely relate. Maybe the reason why people laugh it off is because they aren't sure how to help. It helps to be more direct, but also respectful of people's comfort zones.
Some people love taking on bigger responsibilities like getting groceries, some only feel comfortable dropping off some breakfast.
Just ask and if they laugh it off, say very casually, "I laugh sometimes when I'm uncomfortable or unsure of what to say in a situation, but I'd really appreciate your help. If you can't, I understand. Is that the situation?"

Yeah I’m definitely going to try this out. I just sometimes don’t like to be more aggressive. But maybe that’s what I need to do
