I agree with the others, this is a common stress reaction and you *are* depleted. Are you getting your walks in? Full night's sleep? Bills can be easily sorted out, scrapes happen, people over-react and can apologize, and you can do what you can do - and no more, Mr. SuperBear. So, you'll need to be a little kinder to yourself and make more reasonable goals when you see you have pushed too hard or set too many tasks for yourself. You may also want to check in one the medication level for the antidepressant if you continue to feel like this (or non-feeling from overload).
It does sound like you are still doing all "your" tasks + the caretaker + worker tasks. Perhaps some of the tasks can be passed along - even with incentives, if feasible, to others to give you a break. So, for example, perhaps setting up automatic bill paying so you don't have to remember it all or having Colleen/someone you trust to pay the bills. Intuit has a program that can also integrate with banking programs, write the checks, and help balance the checkbook. Also keeps track of business expenses (to help at tax time). There may be something for Linux.
Good luck, my friend. And take care...
Also, I once had an administrative assistant - she kept track of *everything* for me - it was sad when I had to leave that job. You can hire yourself one. It shouldn't take too many hours to keep track of some of the household tasks - like bill paying, filing business receipts so you have them in order for taxes, etc. I have a friend that does odd jobs like this that might be interested, if you don't have someone. I hire her occasionally to help me out. She'll be back in town in August. She has a degree for being a Museum Curator and was a caretaker for both her mother and father before their deaths so, of coarse, she needs work.
