I think this is normal too. I had a break after I maxed my main to 85 as I felt completely overwhelmed by everthing I thought I should be doing. I guess I had wound down at the end of Wrath only to be thrown back into the levelling, gearing and grinding frenzy again.

Thinking about running HCs but knowing it might just be 2 hours of wipes. Then worrying about getting my enchanting levelled and oooh I need to start making dreamcloth now for the purple gear, so I need to lvl my tailor to 85 for the recipes but I also need to rep grind for the other bits of nice gear on my main, also mine for the volatiles and do the JC daily (what more nightstones!!!)and now it's time for TB, oh yes I have to do those dailies too, ahhhh!

I get overwhelmed easily lol. In the end I logged off one day and couldn't bring myself to log back in. I started playing again last week and once again I'm hooked. It was nice to have some time away though and now I'm just happy to plod along at my own pace enjoying myself and not fretting!
