What can I do on my own to help myself?
A number of resources can be useful:
Prioritize only what is necessary or what you can carry out every day with certainty.
Learn to delegate.
Don't torture yourself with what you cannot accomplish.
Don't set great goals; just try to reach "small goals".
Finally: you can learn techniques to relax and do physical exercise.
 
 
I would also suggest some static exercises that are very practical to overcome stress:
Lie down on the floor face up, arms stretched to the sides with your palms up. Close your eyes. Breath in for 2 seconds, breath out for 2 seconds. Repeat this sequence 8-10 times.
Continue in the same position. Cross your right ankle over your left ankle. Breath in for 2 seconds, breath out for 2 seconds. Repeat this sequence 8-10 times. Revert your ankles' position and repeat the exercise 8-10 times.
Stay laying down face up with your legs stretched. Bend your knees with the sole of your feet to the floor and place your heels as close to your buttocks as possible. Breath in for 2 seconds, breath out for 2 seconds. Repeat this sequence 8-10 times.
Sit on a chair with your back straight and your hands over your knees, your palms up. Breath in for 2 seconds, breath out for 2 seconds. Repeat this sequence 8-10 times.
Still sitting, get your hands next to each other with your palms facing your chest, fingers stretched out. Try to feel the energy that flows between both hands. Breath in for 2 seconds and breath out for 2 seconds. Repeat this series 8-10 times.
 
 
If I could not solve my problem with these exercises, could somebody help me?
Yes; if such were the case it would be convenient for you to consult a reliable professional. Nowadays, administering adequate medication together with some kind of brief therapy (transpersonal, cognitive, behavioral, Ericksonian hypnosis, etc) is often considered helpful.
A competent professional, would certainly be able to help you develop a new perspective to learn how to overcome your problems.
