surrender

How do you let go of the "I can do it myself" attitude when it becomes increasingly apparent that you cannot? Right now I am overwhelmed by every little thing. I started cleaning, only to feel suffocated by stuff and clutter. I started working, only to feel like I don't even know where to start that will help me finish on time. I feel lost. And maybe I would ask for help, only I'm embarrassed that things have gotten to this point. I just feel like I cannot do this by myself. "This" meaning effectively manage my life.
