I can't process the information that is coming at me

I am not quite sure if you meant this post from a general "world at large", or from a "professional having a hard time with work" perspective. Or both? So the things I am about to say are from the "professional having a hard time with work" perspective as it's the one I personally struggle with. I'm sure some of this is applicable to the other category too.

1) Form routines, especially for stuff that generally spikes some anxiety for you. Figure out a process and just do it each and every day. I find that this helps with confidence.

2) Learn to say "fck it". Weird as it sounds, but learning to let go is an amazing tool. "You know, this situation could be better. But you know, fck it! It could be worse, so It can't be that bad"

3) Organize and plan things out. Prioritize things. Accept that you can't always tackle all issues. Use a todo app and list out everything you have going on for the day. As new things come up, add them as a todo. Keep the list prioritized and just focus on the highest priority item at the moment.

4) Learn to tell people you can't help them right now if it's not a higher priority than something you are currently doing. I struggle the most with this one. I always end up feeling really bad if I don't immediately drop everything and do whatever I can to help.

5) Close all those dang browser tabs. I'm sure you meant to come back to X thing 3 days ago... but honestly, it's just a distraction. Close all your random applications down. Open a fresh browser window and only have the stuff you need to focus on for the day. If something is really important, use a bookmark or otherwise take note of the page so you can come back to it later.

6) Medications are often useful tools and can help with improving your quality of life. It could be worth talking to your doctor. Medications generally don't solve problems, but if it can help improve your quality of life, it can be worth considering. It's also worth pointing out that it can potentially take a very long time to work out which medications are best for you. I take medication for high blood pressure for example. Having a lower blood pressure has also helped with my anxiety and just generally feeling better. This has also helped with my anxiety.

I won't argue against medically prescribed drugs for people who need them, but "commenters" here who are talking about therapeutic modalities (CBT and NLP are great) and mindfulness (slow down, see things as they are, tackle the things you can) aren't off-base, and these are more than short-term solutions. They can be the keystone to true transformation.

Overwhelm is reasonable, but also addressable. By many different ways.
