How to deal with work stress

My job role is currently a bit manic. Tons of responsibility so the pressure feels intense. It's not so much the amount of work although that is pretty high, it's the level of responsibility. It's not a new role but it's a critical time for a project which could make or break the organisation. It feels immense.

My manager is supportive and kind and so are the rest of the organisation but as it's a start up everyone is juggling multiple hats so it's not always possible to share the responsibility and actually it's my job to hold that responsibility.

How do I keep on top of the stress and deal with this tricky period? It feels pretty overwhelming at the moment and it's not a particularly enjoyable time.

Following with interest! I’m at work now and just feel in a stressful state of anxiety!

My manager is well aware how busy the team is .Thats doesn’t stop them giving me another piece of work. Today is another big piece of work that has this Friday as a deadline. It’s currently at the bottom of my pile as I have ABC I have to do.

Of course it will get done but how much more can they give me before I tell them to shove their fucking job up their fucking arse sideways.

I really need a holiday!
