Glad my comment was helpful :)
You have now several options to deal with the pressure problem:

  • Increase your resilience toward stress. Structuring your tasks can help, as can set clear borders between work/non-work. Your company is not everything - and I say this as someone who has a burnout history, so I know it's pretty hard to really absorb that. Dev.to is a great resource for tips about mental health in dev. Having non-dev hobbies/friends/social contacts definitely helps, too. And having enough sleep (I'm guilty on this one, too, but working on it)
  • Decrease the amount of workload/stress you're exposed to. This can happen through speaking about your issues with your manager, but again this requires a high amount of trust and a competent leader. It can happen through requesting clear prioritization and making the actual effort needed to solve a task more transparent. If neither helps, thinking about changing your workplace might be a good option, too. You're too valuable to get burned by careless managers/company culture. Again: I have some personal experience in that area :)
  • If you have thoughts like "but I'm too bad/inexperienced to ever find a job somewhere outside my company" I would highly encourage you to start searching for a job pretty soon. Chances are very high that your company actively works on such a mean and toxic culture to prevent you from leaving. Good managers/leaders will encourage you to thrive and help you in growing personally. Things will not get better, but you will continue to suffer.
