Feeling overwhelmed has many faces.
Feeling overwhelmed can result in
an intense emotion and turn into anxiety, anger irritability, worry, helplessness, panic attacks, crying, and a lack of sleep.
Tips that can help are:
Change your thoughts.
Do not tell yourself that you cannot do something. Tell yourself that you CAN and WILL get through your difficult time.
Break things down in smaller and more attainable steps.
If you only look at the big picture of what all needs to be done or what you have to go through, it will be very overwhelming. But if you just look at the next step or the next hour, it is more doable to mange what you are overwhelmed about.
Do what you can with what you have with where you are in life- and let the rest go.
You can only do what you are capable of. Tell yourself this and accept where you are and do the best that you can do.
Have you not known? Have you not heard? The LORD is the everlasting God, the Creator of the ends of the earth. He does not faint or grow weary; his understanding is unsearchable. Isaiah 40:28
