Dear Management

A Column for People Seeking Life Advice From A Boxer Dog

Dear Management,

I'm drowning in stress. Between work deadlines, family obligations, financial pressure, and just trying to keep up with everything, I feel like I can't catch my breath. I wake up anxious, go to bed exhausted, and spend most days feeling like I'm failing at everything. How do you handle when life feels completely overwhelming?

Sincerely,
Barely Keeping My Head Above Water
