Leveled up too quickly in Skyrim; Enemies now too difficult
I spent a lot of time exploring and doing side missions, and not really leveling my smithing or my enchanting, and now I'm a really high level. Almost any enemy can kill me and none of the items that are spawning are good enough to help.
Is there any way to restore the balance in my game or do I have to start over?

Yes, you can still save your character if you invest a lot of time in leveling blacksmithing ect. You will need a lot of cash. Sell all your items that you have hoarded over time. One big problem might be the perks, as you might have spent all of them on other stuff.
Here is what you need to do:
- Level up alchemy
- Level up blacksmithing
- Level up enchanting
Drink or sell your potions to merchants. Enchant your weapons or jewelry and sell them back to merchants. At first this is a big money dump, but later you will actually profit form the transactions.
You can combine the leveling with training. Train and steal back your money. Later you can paralyze the trainers to pickpocket it out of them while they cannot move.
If you run out of ingredients you can wait or fast travel between the big cities and buy all the stock from alchemists (ingredients), blacksmiths (ingots and leather) and enchanters (gem stone).
Do not fight. Run away from any monsters that might kill you. For enchanting get only souls from monsters that you are able to kill (e.g. crabs around Whiterun).
Be aware that this is really boring and time consuming. The best way to do these tasks (in a new game) is during other missions. Whenever you return to a big city, buy all ingredients etc. and craft materials that you sell instantly to merchants or stash in your house.

Can you level too fast in Skyrim?
Absolutely, leveling up faster has these disadvantages: You lose the ability to take advantage of the 5 training attempts per level (though this further increases your leveling speed). You should use this in a hard to level category, such as armor, restoration, lock picking, etc.When you level up in Skyrim do enemies get stronger?
Enemy level generation, from UESP wiki, "Effects of Leveling": ...all leveled enemies are generated more like leveled creatures in Fallout. For example, Bandit NPCs are always a fixed level for their name (Bandits are level 1, Bandit Thugs are level 9, Bandit Highwaymen are level 14, etc).Why am I leveling so fast in Skyrim?
Level-ups are based on experience, not skill increases. The higher your skill when it increases, the more xp it gives towards leveling up. Going from 99 -> 100 takes longer (and counts more towards leveling up) than going from 15 -> 16. As your level increases it takes more and more xp to level up too.What is the hardest enemy in Skyrim?
