It can be really easy to get swept up in all of the pressure and feel hopeless about the future.
GoodTherapy.org says this about emotional overwhelm:
“Emotional overwhelm is a state of being beset by intense emotion that is difficult to manage. It can affect your ability to think and act rationally. It could also prevent you from performing daily tasks.”
