No need to feel silly. We are here to help!
I agree with arpy's advice to definitely take things one at a time. Feeling like you have to get all of those things done at once can definitely feel overwhelming. I also find what helps me is to think about which of those tasks seems most overwhelming and causes me the most stress to think about. Sometimes, I find, if I get that most stress-inducing thing done first, the other things won't seem so bad in comparison after that. On the other hand, if you are having one of those days where you just can't (and we all have those!), start with some of the simple things like the laundry. While you fold, can do something nice for yourself like listening to music or watching something fun on TV, and then when you see the big stack of folded clothes at the end, it can feel extra special because you have visible proof of what you accomplished. And I know for me, sometimes, that feeling of accomplishment can get me on a roll to tackle the next thing on the list.
But also be kind to yourself if it's all too stressful and you need to put these tasks off for a day or two. Just the same as it would be okay to put off some tasks for a few days if you had a cold or the flu, if you are having a bad time emotionally, it's okay to take the time off from getting stuff done for a few days if you need to gather your mental forces. Give yourself permission to do that. Sometimes just giving yourself that permission can help diffuse the stress.
Sending you lots of positive energy.
