I am the same way. Over the last year or two, I've recognized that I can only handle so much. Any more than my limit, and I turn into an old computer with a slow flashing icon. I cannot process. Too much information. Too much to handle ~ physically, emotionally, and cognitively.

It feels hard to fully explain my experience. Those who have been there however, can feel what I am talking about. (Hopefully, someone will understand what I'm talking about here. I have a hard time expressing myself sometimes...sorry.)

What I'm trying to say is that possum put it well. You can only handle so much. Give yourself a break for not achieving as much as you expect yourself to achieve. We often expect much more from ourselves than we are actually able to do. We need to remind ourselves of that fact from time to time. You will get better. It may take some time before you're able to do what you want. Or maybe you'll have to accept a couple of limitations, to make the rest of your life more manageable. But, you'll get there. Try to have patience and be honest with yourself. You and your real world are what truly matters in life.

Best wishes to you!
