It is said (and quite often I might add) that God only gives you what you can handle.  This doesn't mean that you won't feel overwhelmed or brought down to your knees in tears - it means that he knows you can handle whatever is going on...YOU GOT THIS!  
Are there times when you want to say "No God - I don't got this!"  "I don't want this!"  "Give me something else!" Yes - there are those times but God help me - I know it could be worse, so very much worse.  So I will allow myself these moments of being overwhelmed.  I will trust in the God of my understanding that I can handle this and be extremely grateful that I have the abundance of blessing that I do around me.  I will force myself to be grateful - because I should and have every reason to be.
If you are feeling overwhelmed - you are not alone.  It is ok to give in to the feelings that being overwhelmed brings - just don't stay there. Ok? You will get through this!  I have faith in you - have faith in yourself. It is ok to ask for help also - you may not get it but ask anyway.  Step away if you need to. Just for a moment - it will allow you to rebuild and recharge.  
Deep breath - inhale - exhale - a few more times with your eyes closed.
Ok, now back to life.
Ok, now back to life.
