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

I'm a well-educated man yet I find it very difficult to process the information that is coming at me. The number of issues that hit me every day just makes me want to hide in a foxhole until it's all over like some soldier. Yet I know it will not be over. In fact, I know it will be progressively worse.

I'm educated and aware and I can't cope. How can anyone cope?
