I tend to something similar, in smaller scale. Right now my Firefox browser has 67 open tabs in my phone, with links and tidbits of information that is interesting or relevant for me, waiting for review. But I don't really worry so much as before.

It used to be worse, with several hundredth tabs. I just lost them all one day, to my astonishment, while testing the "clean private data" feature: hadn't disabled the option to forget all open tabs. All were gone, and it really was for the better. It felt like a "mind cleanup" -- although at the moment I felt very stupid :-)

You have been given good advice: just stop. At least for a while. Realize that all that pending stuff is neither Important nor Urgent [1], and just let it go.
