Work Stress Overload

[mickeyhakko]

Hey bro, lately my job's been a total nightmare with back-to-back deadlines that leave me shaking and overthinking everything. Last week, during a big presentation, my heart raced so fast I blanked out mid-sentence, embarrassing myself in front of the team. It all started when I got promoted; the pressure built up from constant emails and late nights, turning small worries into full-blown panic. I need your advice on how to stop anxiety before it tanks my career—any practical tips or routines that actually work for someone in a high-stress office gig?

Man, I’ve been in that exact spot. When I first got promoted, I thought I had to prove myself nonstop, so I worked late, checked emails at 2 a.m., and basically ran on adrenaline. It all caught up during a quarterly meeting—I froze mid-pitch, heart pounding like crazy. What helped me was learning small grounding tricks I could use fast, like controlled breathing before presentations and setting real “no work” cutoffs at night. I came across this article back then: how to stop anxiety (https://citizenadvocates.net/blog/7-ways-to-calm-anxiety-in-the-moment/) and a few of those tips honestly kept me from spiraling.
