I know the feeling. Wanna work on my dissertation for a bit? I'll work on whatever you're overwhelmed with. :-D
But alex is right. Just take one piece at a time. If it helps, make an outline or list. Set small goals, and take a mini reward break when you accomplish something. (but not too long, you want to keep moving forward).
Also, are you more depressed? Sometimes when I am in a depressed state, everything looks worse than it really is. I feel like I have no options, and I just shut down. I usually regret this later. I have to learn to reach out to my husband or to faculty or a T when this happens to help me see what my options are in the moment, because I don't always make such good choices.
Take care, sweetie.
