I 1000% know how you feel. While I haven't figured it out myself (transitioning to only consulting because I couldn't do both for more than a few hours a week of moonlighting), there are a few things I've learned.

To answer your question - absolutely I've felt and feel overwhelmed. After coming home at 5, knowing you have 3 more hours of work to do after dinner, for 3-4 weekdays and 1-2 weekend days sucks!

A few tips that have worked for me: -Is there any way you could get help for some of the lower level portion of the work, and hire someone that costs 50-70% of your rate so that you still make a profit? -Can you tell the moonlighting people that you work on their projects on Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday so that you mentally know which days to focus on them and you don't have to think about it 24/7? -Can you let them know on those days that you check your email every 2 hours so that you can focus on the work (that way you're not refreshing your inbox every 5 minutes)

Hope that helps in any way.
