That sounds really stressful. Is this a new feeling for you or have you felt overwhelmed at work before?

It comes up periodically. Usually around the same time each year

That's interesting. Can you tell me more about what usually happens around that time of year? Does anything change in your work environment or workload?

We have some tight deadlines around September each year

It sounds like those deadlines are causing you to feel overwhelmed. Do you have any support or resources to help you manage the workload during that time?
