I do relate to your feelings.  I have and still am going through much of the same feelings and have been for 3 years now.  The worse started when I watched my mother die 3 yrs ago and i fell into the worst depression ever.  The saddest thing is that although I knew and recognized the depression, I never sought help.  I just sat in it day by day.  Now because of several other crisis' in my live; one son sent to prison, my sisters' suicide this year, and my other son living with us and being mentally ill. etc, I finally realized i had no choice but to ask for help.  I am currently seeing a counselor and going to al-anon.  The mental health services here really stink, since my son has no income and no insurance, and we are battling to get him the help he needs.  The fact is I have spent so much time in my depression and trying to fix others that my health has suffered. I still am tired everyday and I don't get my housework all done, but then I talk to myself and tell myself that I have been "insane" for a long time (my kids father was an alcoholic and drug dealer) and my housework has suffered terribly for 3 years and I can't possible fix it all in one day.  Somedays I just allow myself to "take the day off" and other days I do what I can in my house and continue my al-anon and counseling.  I know if I continue with these I will get better. One other things is when I am restless like this I MAKE myself go for a walk.  There is hope! :) 

One way I deal with that restlessness is do a type of meditation where I just do one thing at a time to completion. I watch all those crazy thoughts in my head of trying to do a million things at once and just doing one thing at a time helps it to drop down and get quieter and to heal.

I know living as I do as stressed out as I am and just being around my boyfriend and his crazy behavior is stressful. He is always driving erratically and it gets so so old to be out with him.  I have to make a lot of emotional space for myself. He is like an infant clambering for attention all the time and it is very stressful to be around him so I make a lot of time apart from him and keep focused on my issues and do not obsess about his.

I also set very very reasonable goals for myself. I used to set impossible goals now I set reasonable ones.

Speaking of lists...the other day I made a list of all the things that are causing anxiety in my life at the present time. It does change from week to week or even day to day. I think what it did was to get it out of my head and on to paper where I can look at each one without having all that stuff running around in my head. Lists, I think, are a good thing. It helps me to concentrate on one thing at a time.
