Stress and anxiety

Over the last few days I feel under some stress. This is natural as I have a really difficult job but I feel much more stressed than usual and tonight feel quite anxious. I find myself taking deep sighs and feeling quite anxious inside my chest.
I don't have a history of similar and am not going to the GP , just want a little moan :-)

Normal. Walk, wine and bed.

I don't think it's usual for me and I think I am feeling a bit overwhelmed by work at the moment.

Can I ask why you are feeling a bit overwhelmed by work? Are you being asked to do too much or more than you feel capable of? Are you a teacher by any chance ?!

Yes work is very stressful ATM, too much going on, less staff than usual and tired and too many hours,and working at the limit of my competency so have to be on peak form, all the time
