Oh yes, work. I used to work well under pressure but I burned out badly in January and have never really recovered. What you were describing was a part of my daily life back then on top of fainting and vomiting and just feeling awful. My work load was ridiculously high for one person and the people dumping the work on me failed to hear my plea of "enough". I have lost respect for my career since then and where I used to relish a deadline, get very tense and pressured if I have to work to one.
Now along with GAD, I don't cope well with normal everyday stresses, never mind work. This year alone has been burn out, give up smoking, move house, get married, medication, death of father, move house (again), and more. I feel constantly brain fried and my thoughts are either non existant or they race. I become overwhelmed by the tiniest things.
Enough about me though. You do talk so little about yourself.
I am glad that you are feeling a little more rested. Please take it easy.
(I have also had carpal tunnel - ouch. I sometimes hit a speed wobble at 120 wpm)
