You know what? I get really overwhelmed like that, too. I have this giant to-do list, and I never know where to start. And I have all these "I really should's" about self-care and my health. When I think about trying to start some of them, I tend to think of doing all at once.
Just pick one. That's all you need to do. Pick one that seems the least scary or the easiest. Or one that involves the least commitment.
You just need a starting point. Maybe go to church just to go. That's a start. You can then move on to asking God for forgiveness if that's what you want, but start just by going.
Or maybe just look in the phone book for therapists. Just a start. You don't even have to call any of them.

It's okay to be you just as you are. You're loved as you are. And any change you might want to make just needs a small step to begin. As Phillipa says, Baby steps.
Take care,
