Congratulations on the house - no wonder you're reeling! Just choose a corner of a room and make it liveable. Then you can sit in the mess and look at a lovely part of your house.
Once when I moved from England back to the US - and from a house to an apartment - I was left to do all the unpacking and squeezing in all by myself. I was overwhelmed (and angry at being left with such a mess).
At that time I was good at turning situations around. I decided to unpack only one box a day, and no more. It took a long time but helped to diffuse my feelings.
