This is going to be all over the place, I don't really know where to start.
So I find myself getting so overwhelmed all the time. My 5 year old talking to me or asking for something, or jut talking non stop, my 7 month old screaming at the top of her lungs for something, the house is a mess and Im trying to clean up and the mess is just stressing me out even more. Like right now I feel like there is so much going on I just need silence but that's usually not possible. Like I feel like I just shut down and don't want anyone to talk to me and just leave me alone so I can calm down.
I seem to have a lot of anxiety about food and I either just stop caring and eat like crap or when I try to eat healthier I obesss over it, worry about everything that is unhealthy, watch a hundred youtube videos about health etc. and Im getting so stressed out I feel like I'm gonna lose it. I don't know how to find a balance between eating anything and everything and eating healthy.

I looked up anxiety and it doesnt seem to be it but I was diagnosedwith depression and anxiety a few years ago and was on meds until September 2014 when I got pregnant and went off my meds and havent taken any since. I found while I was pregnant I felt fine and even after. I don't know if the depression and anxiety is coming back or not.

When tackling a gigantic kid mess I get frustrated as well so I separate the cleaning into different sections. I have a 3 and a half yo and a 9 mo so it will be similar.

I start with anything that can go in the garbage or be recycled. Diapers, wipes, water bottles, etc. Then I move to any dishes laying around and sadly scrape off the food they probably didn't eat, cups, and pile them up in the kitchen and forget about them.

Then I do all of my youngest daughters toys since there are fewer and we can put them in one basket and line the bigger toys around the book shelf. I move on to my oldest daughters toys, dolls and you know the drill.

After all of that I sweep up and then vacuum. I try and do all of that while our youngest is eating to reduce mess and our oldest doing something simple like drawing or if you're lucky, helping.

Anxiety is where your thoughts are racing and you cannot seem to focus away from the negative. It's where your Sympathetic Nervous System is kicked into overdrive and won't quit. For those who do not know, there is the Parasympathetic Nervous System (Rest and Relax), and the Sympathetic Nervous System (Fight or Flight). When you are stressed, the Sympathetic Nervous System is active. This will tire you out more and keep you from thinking clearly. Much of your thinking when the Sympathetic Nervous System is active is racing thoughts.

Without more information, it's hard to say what you are experiencing and if it's anxiety or not. You should see a professional, or hell, keep posting and venting here. Sometimes a good vent to people who just get it is all you need.

There are even Psychologists who will do appointments over the phone.

You said you have a 7 MONTH old. Perhaps this is Postpartum Depression? Try yoga and meditation. It will help your mind, as well as your post-baby body get back into the swing of things. Also, try getting a baby-sitter for an evening and getting out of the house.
