Not saying that you have the same thing but I sometimes get so overwhelmed with my kids that I have literal panic attacks and I have extreme anxiety. You may want to get it checked out by a doctor. When I was a teen I didn’t process all the crap that happened to me and now that I’m stable and safe I’m processing years worth of crap all at once so much that my mind is flooded completely. I’ve started taking medication. It helps. When you start to feel overwhelmed maybe take 5 seconds in the bathroom and splash water on your face or hold onto some ice cubes or maybe if you have a partner work with them on giving you your own time and space away from everything so you can zen 🫶🏻

Letting go of perfection and being in the moment. When I'm home I have my phones volume on and leave it in my room or on the table only to check it with intent instead of scrolling for too long. You will find it difficult but after a week you will feel better and be able to accomplish more

I'm coming realize that we have to fill our cup up first. We have to put our oxygen mask on first in order to function..take a shower, do something fun, get in the car and get fresh air. Anything simple almost mundane. Something to take care of you. I get overstimulated even just listening to music or having the tv on in the background. Finding something simple,easy, quiet to do gives me a moment to just catch my breath. Maybe anytime you catch yourself getting worked up just take a sip of water, redirect your attention to something simple as that. It will train your brain out of that stress response

Self care (usually a shower or a yummy treat) And being ok with things just being "good enough" and trying to focus on my accomplishments rather than what I still have yet to do. It's all easier said than done but mindful and purposeful about it and reminding myself (sometimes hourly) is all I can do..

I don’t have much of a support system and I get super easily overwhelmed too. I totally feel your pain. I had anxiety before and having a baby has just amplified it 1000%.
