tiny, tiny, tiny baby steps

Hi -

I'm a pretty standard over-achiever, HFA, and now that I'm not drinking I have this urge to DO EVERYTHING I haven't been doing and try to fix up my life as quickly as possible. But I find I get overwhelmed by just about anything. Getting through the day taking care of life's basic functions and caring for my daughter are about all I can manage. I pretty much look forward to going to sleep from the time I wake up. Is this normal? I feel like I'm just hiding from life but at the same time most things are totally new that I'm not doing them sober or hungover. Also, the mood swings! The MOOOOD swings! I'll be excited to do something and then five minutes later will need to sit on the floor and just cry. Thoughts?
