When Everything Feels Like Too Much

Sometimes nothing is "wrong" — and yet everything feels like too much.

You may still be functioning.

You may still be meeting responsibilities.

But internally, you feel overloaded, irritable, mentally drained, and unable to make even simple decisions without effort.

When Everything Feels Like Too Much is a practical, compassionate guide for moments of emotional overload, decision fatigue, and nervous system overwhelm — especially common in midlife.

This book is not about pushing through, simplifying your life aggressively, or fixing yourself.

Instead, it explains why overload happens, how volume and fragmentation drain capacity, and what actually helps reduce pressure without adding more work.

Written for times when energy is limited and clarity feels just out of reach, this book focuses on relief through subtraction, not optimisation.

Inside, you'll learn:

•What emotional overload actually is — and why it's often misunderstood
•How decision fatigue and cognitive drain develop
•Why everything feels louder, heavier, and harder under overwhelm
•Why common advice to "just relax" or "get organised" often backfires
•How to reduce load without creating more systems or effort
•How to restore decision capacity gently and sustainably
•How to move through overload without self-blame or collapse

This book stands on its own and can be read in short sections.

You do not need to apply everything at once.

If everything already feels like too much, the goal is to make things feel less.

If you're experiencing emotional overload and need clarity, permission, and practical relief — this book offers a steady way forward.
