I’m sure this will resonate with many people on here, I know it does with me. I know this feeling well, @Shaylle.

It’s good that you’ve taken the time to write about your feelings. This in itself is an important step. I used to keep my list of things to achieve for the day short and simple. Then I would focus on just completing one to begin with, and tell myself I’d worry about the rest after that. Usually, after completing one, e.g. brushing my teeth, I’d start to feel like I could tackle the next one. It sort of gave me the mental and physical momentum.

I still take this approach on many days now, if I start to feel overwhelmed again.

Keep going. Things will improve.

Jeff.
