How do you all deal with the feeling of "if I dont do this it will never get done"? I'm getting slammed on my current project. I've raised it to my manager but that hasn't helped changed the workload

I feel this way when I have a lot happening and I’m stressed. I take on more than I should or can realistically do and then kill myself trying to make it happen. I try to recognize the signs early and then delegate. And I also take a hard look at priorities. If we are totally Screwed without a deck- then that is a must. If someone is trying to add to my workload to tack on “nice to have” or “optics" stuff- delegate or put at the bottom of the list

Set some boundaries and communicate them early, so it's not a surprise. The tasks on your list are more than you can accomplish in this time frame. Come up with ideas for how to prioritize them, and suggest this to your manager. Include something about deleterious health consequences if you want. If the answer is going to be 'you need to get all of these done', at least make them say that explicitly, and then you can decide whether it's worth it or time to find a new project/job.

Deadlines can induce anxiety attacks for me. I worked through the weekend and just woke up to a (nice!) email from the client asking about progress. We're not going to hit deadline. This caused an all-out anxiety attack at 6:30 am and now I have to somehow get myself together and work.

How can I have a healthy relationship with deadlines? That "good and done is better than perfect" saying is nice, but expectations are very high. I just want to stop feeling this way. Therapy helps, kind of.

And I kind of wish I could post before/after pics because apparently I was very bloated. I've been focusing on keeping up with my hydration at home. Thx ladies!

Breakups: ladies have you ever left a relationship while the SO didn’t do anything wrong? I just feel he isn’t the right one for me after moving in for half a year now. I think ending things is the fair thing to do, but I’m bogged down by the logistics (moving out/ dividing our things/ making sure he has a place to move to, etc). The key thing is he didn’t do anything wrong or fail me, he just can’t support me emotionally and communicate in a way I know I deserve
