ne plus savoir ou donner la tete

What does "ne plus savoir ou donner la tete" mean in English?  Looks like "I no longer knew where to lay my head."

Carl, 

it doesn’t have everything of course, but wordrefence is a pretty good starting point for checking expressions. In this case, it comes up positive : 

ne plus savoir où donner de la tête loc v(être débordé)not know where to start v expr  be overwhelmed v aux + v past p

Larousse online dictionary is also a great reference for expressions - overall it has more , defined in French, but I couldn’t locate this one there under savoir, donner or tête!
