No matter how hard I try, and how many things I try to be good at…. it just all falls apart. All I ever feel is overwhelmed. I don’t think I do THAT much compared to most people, but I still can’t keep up. I am a wife, a full time employee, a part time student, a leader at my church and am running a photography business on the side. Lets not forget social life and family. Yet, I am not good at keeping up with ONE of these things. Even IF it’s a lot going on, I should at least be excelling in ONE…JUST ONE THING. But I’m not…. I’m failing at all of it. What is the POINT in being around or doing anything at all if I can’t do any of it right?? I don’t want to deal with this anymore…. I am so tired of it all. I am tired of being tired, overwhelmed, and depressed. I hate failing at everything. I hate trying…but never being able to try hard enough. No matter what, I get overwhelmed and I shut down. I just want it all to stop…. please.

Your father knows what you need before you ask him. So do not worry, saying ‘What shall we eat?’ or ‘What shall we wear?’ For the pagans run after all these things, and your heavenly Father knows that you need them. But seek first his kingdom and his righteousness, and all these things will be given to you as well. Therefore do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about itself. Today’s trouble is enough for today. (Matthew 6:8b, 31-34)
Matthew 11:28-30
28 “Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest. 29 Take my yoke upon you and learn from me, for I am gentle and humble in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. 30 For my yoke is easy and my burden is light.”
I am praying for you right now, and will continue to do so.
That is a very long list of things to juggle.
No wonder you are exhausted!
Stop beating yourself up and give yourself a break.
Even superwoman had an invisible plane to fly around in!
You don’t need to do it all yourself.
Time to prioritize.
Good luck
Slow down.
Jill of all trades.
Mastery takes focus.
And nobody excels at everything all the time.
Just have fun with it.
And delegate something.
I echo the previous replies. True words of wisdom.
Call on the Lord in your time of need. He will see you through this and anything else that comes your way.
You are a blessing to those around you, not a burden and not a disappointment. Don’t paint a self-portrait distorting the image of a wonderful creation. Pay no mind to the fun-house mirror reflection: see yourself as you truly are. You are talented, amazing, and bring great joy to the Creator as well as your loved ones.
Your potential is limitless. Focus on the true desire of your heart and apply yourself. Don’t let fear of failure paralyze you.
Take time to catch your breath and create margin between the activities filling your life. Work is a necessary ritual, but finding time to relax on the side will ease the stress that work brings. You will enjoy your job more if this happens.
Allow these hectic days to pass, because they surely will.
I will be praying for you. 🙂
Watch the Olympics and take note … a Track and Field star does NOT “star” in every track and field event. If I told you I was reading twelve books at the same time and none of them made sense to me … what would you tell me?

It’s sounds like your taking on too many things.
How are you doing?
