How to deal with Anxiety when things pile
Feeling today like "when it rains it pours"
Been already on edge with my anxiety, and problems at work are pushing me even more. Looking for some ways to handle the onslaught of issues to get my anxiety under control
Well do me, music helps a bit
I hope this doesnt seem overly simplistic but sometimes it helps to have a list (even breaking things down into smaller steps helps). It makes things feel more manageable.

Sorry that things feel overwhelming. I find that for me, when my anxiety starts mounting I need to remind myself to take a step back. Even if I feel really busy and stressed out I tell myself to take just 5 minutes. I try to set a timer sometimes too if I really have that nagging go, go, go feeling. Work is hard because sometimes it is difficult to take yourself out of the moment, but my tricks are usually to go to the bathroom and just collect myself or if possible take a short walk. Sometimes Ill write down how Im feeling on paper or as a note in my phone. I think the important thing is to realize that it will pass even when it really, really doesnt feel like it will.
Hope things turn around for you soon. Anxiety is hard but I like to believe it gets a little bit easier to manage each time.
