How do you deal with constant stress when everything piles up at once?

Hey everyone. I’m writing this because my stress levels have been incredibly high lately, and I’m starting to feel completely overwhelmed. It feels like every time I get a handle on one thing, three more problems pile up, and I can't catch my breath.

It’s getting to the point where it’s affecting my daily focus and making it hard to relax, even when I finally have a moment of downtime. I feel like I'm constantly on edge and running on empty.

For anyone who has been in this cycle, how do you break out of it? What are some small, realistic things you do to calm your mind when you feel like you're drowning in things to do?

I would really appreciate any advice, coping strategies, or even just hearing from others who relate. Thanks in advance.
