You may be rather tired, so it's not as easy as you might think to manage everything yourself. The key is to do what's necessary (like getting proper food and rest) and not worry about things that can wait. If the house is messy, so be it.
If friends offer to help, take them up on their offer and let them help. Let them cook for you or bring you meals, for example. That's what we did and it helped, and they felt better that they could do something for us.
