Feeling over capacity

I'm wondering if anyone could help me understand what keep happening to me?

I've had a lot to keep on top of recently with work and caring for a small child, I'm also still grieving a dear loved one. A few times this week I feel like my head has reached capacity of what it can cope with and I've just coped until I can go to bed. It feels like I suddenly can't concentrate, can't think clearly and can barely do enough to get to the end of the day. So far, sleep and then a break of going for a walk or something seems enough. But it is happening more regularly. Once after what felt like a stressful day at work I struggled so much and not only had this feeling of brain shut down but also was generally teary. Then yesterday it happened suddenly whilst I was sorting dinner, I suddenly felt everything shift and had that feeling again.

Has anyone experienced anything like this? I'm not sure what to do to help myself. Thanks x
