Overwhelmed

Sometimes you can get overwhelmed by things that others seem to manage without trying. I am in that situation and have no idea what to do about it.
So what is going on?
I am trying to catch up with two years of dreadful house work or rather none existent house work. Since my hip operation I have been in a bad state and not just because of the pain in my shoulders, but also because my mind seems to be somehow incapable to function.
Somehow all initiative is gone and motivation isn't there at all.
So now I have to find a way of getting over that. I guess I just have to throw my heart over the fence and jump after it.
Can I ??
