Sometimes stuff does get overwhelming and you will fall in a heap unable to push forward. But somewhere in there you know that it's kind of a forced retreat and recuperate and reassess period so that when you get back up again you'll be able to deal with the problems.
Or at least that's how I feel when I hit the collapse points (which in some situations I may be able to delay if I really need to deal with a situation right then and there without the reconsideration period in which case it becomes a days-to-weeks long burnout afterward instead).
You're allowed to feel frustrated and overwhelmed and burned out and you're allowed to take a step or several back to consider how you're going to kerbstomp all the problems you're facing (despite what any people that might be causing said problems wanting their solutions immediately because their issues will always be infinitely more important than everyone else's). I only know you from a lot of writing but I know you'll get on with it :) Hope the feelings and the problem/s causing them get resolved/at least relent a bit (in the case of stupid chronic health issues ugh) soon.
