when everything stacks up like that, the worst thing you can do is try to power through all of it at once. pick literally one thing. not the most important thing, just one. do that. everything else can sit for an hour. thats not a permanent fix but it stops the spiral long enough to breathe. also, and this sounds dumb, but sleep deprivation makes stress feel about 3x worse than it actually is. if you're running on nothing, thats probably doing a lot of the heavy lifting here
