I know what you mean, FABL. I used to drink when I felt overwhelmed, then feel more overwhelmed when hungover ... and so the viscious cycle continued. I finally feel like I am starting to get things done, little by little. Have a long way to go on my "to do" list, but at least it is starting to feel manageable, instead of overwhelming and impossible!
