I'm talking overwhelmed as a symptom, a sensation. Not overwhelmed by a specific situation, but chronic... overwhelmsion? Overwhelmation? Overwhelmism? Overwhelmth?

It's right up there for me with fatigue, cog fog, etc. Just a generalized feeling of being overwhelmed. You know, the feeling that you just can't deal?

That's another one that's almost impossible to describe to John Q. Public. I can barely explain it to myself. It doesn't have to be a lot of things at once, it doesn't have to be something bad, it doesn't even have to be something I even KNOW about. I just feel overwhelmed, and want to crawl back under my rock.
