(( xter )) Focus on what u can do today, right now. Make a list and prioritize the order. When I was overwehlemd, I was told to think about what can I do for 15 minutes at a time and chunk away at my list like that.
Not sure why u feel guilty about the house being messy, the chores dont go anywhere, give YOU a break.

So true about the household chores, they will always be there so don't you worry about them, take it in small steps today, have a shower or bath and work on you.
You got the prayers Xter. Over whelmed...God to think I was whelmed enough and arrived at being Over...whelmed like I needed to act masochistic!! I know where you are at and it sucks. A good slogan that worked for me was "This too will pass" (truth) it could not last for ever and never had in the past when I was there before. Enablers just love coming back to chaos and crises until we surrender completely. One of the old crying lessons was; Cry...cry somemore... cry even somemore...talk to sponsor or someone in program and cry and then smile a little bit and then cry some more and smile and then cry and smile and then smile and then smile somemore and then laugh out loud. That is the way it's always happend when I was a newbie. After some time in program very little had the power to make me cry over it when it didn't come along my way. "How important is it" became a great slogan then along with "God doesn't give me anything I cannot handle with God's help." Morning's over...now what?
