I'm really fucking stressed right now.
I've got a shit tonne of work to do.
but every time I try to do anything I get chest pains.
I'm exhausted and either can't get to sleep or can't stop falling asleep.
Every day I get so little done which means I'm falling further behind and then more stress.
Deadlines are looming.
I want to get work done but I keep having meltdowns when I push myself.
What can I do to get work done?
I'm going to the doctor tomorrow see if I can get some drugs or something.
I tried therapy before for anxiety and shit but this is a whole different color of shit.
It's been going on all year, getting worse and worse.
I thought it was getting better a couple of weeks ago, but then I took the weekend off to relax and that just let me see how fucked I was, when on Monday I got back to work and it was like I was punched in the chest.
No build up, just instantly back to pain and panic.
Anyone?

I've never been this stressed.
My undergrad wasn't this bad, work was never this bad.
Tell yourself you wont do anything unless you get your work done. Sit down, eat something sugary and work till you cant anymore.

I... then I would just not do anything.
I've gone past the simple "just fucking do it" phase to the "every time I try to do anything I end up freaking out" phase.

Seems like a genuine medical issue.
My flatmate has a problem with his heart which makes him weak and suffer pains when he becomes highly agitated/stressed.
Not saying it's this, just saying: if you're having stress related chest pains, you need to see a medical professional
Oh look, a panic attack.
Welcome to the wonderful world of anxiety disorders. Go see a doctor ASAP.

>a panic attack.
I've had panic attacks before.
Last year I ended up climbing into any small space I could hide in.
But it's never had this level of physical pain.
Going to the doctor tomorrow.

Feeling like you're having a heart attack is a "normal" part of a panic attack. For me, anyways.

oh crap, I don't have time for this.
I've got so fucking much to do.
I just need to get through the next 3 weeks.
I think my hair is falling out faster too.
I've been in worse situations but I've never felt like this.

That doesn't mean shit. It might a case of the straw that broke the camel's back. Take a deep breath and talk to your doctor. You only have three weeks to go.
It'll get better.

>It'll get better.
Either that or I'll lose the job and then I'll have a different sort of stress.
One day at a time.
Thanks for you help.
Chest pains? If you have angina that could be a serious issue.
