Regional synonyms

To be carrying a heavy emotional burden or to be weighed down by too many responsibilities at once. Used across Mexico, Colombia, Venezuela, Argentina, and Chile. When someone "anda cargado," this is not the moment to pile more on them. They are already at capacity and need space, not more demands.
