Six months in, asked to cover for someone for 2 weeks plus do my job.

Six months into working at my job, I’ve been asked to cover for someone who’s going on vacation for 2 weeks. Now this persons job involves a lot of receptionist type duties like sorting mail/ making bulk copies/ making binders and folders etc., The problem is they expect me to do my current job which is completely different (communication, emails, marketing, handling customer requests etc,) AND do the second job. I’ve spoken to a lot of people who’ve said it’s unfair. But management says that this was already in my job responsibility (which it wasn’t) they conveniently added it on later. I’m just tired and I feel like I physically and mentally cannot give % to both jobs. I’ve cried in the bathroom at work for three days straight cause of the stress. Any advice would be appreciated. I’m also in a situation now that I can’t afford to leave…

I’ve spoken to a lot of people who’ve said it’s unfair. But management says that this was already in my job responsibility (which it wasn’t) they conveniently added it on later.
I’m just tired and I feel like I physically and mentally cannot give % to both jobs.
I’ve cried in the bathroom at work for three days straight cause of the stress.
Any advice would be appreciated.
I’m also in a situation now that I can’t afford to leave my job without having one that pays as much or more equally lined up.
