It may help to remember that you don't have to solve everything at once. (Small steps work for me). Trying to take it all on at once is just anxiety-provoking.

Don't know if this helps, but when things really suck for me, I try to think "what small acts can I do right now that will improve my mood or situation?" For me, even doing the laundry takes one more thing off my plate to think about.

remember to just breathe too!
Thanks for this!
