I am a software engineer with 3 years of experience. I have been assigned to a new project recently (1 month), where work load is more and I am very stressed. I feel anxiety most of the time and being worried about minute things ( though they have no impact) all the time. I never had sleep issues but these days I can't sleep properly. I feel anxious all the time and feel like crying for no reason. I get severe shoulder pain because of stress. I can feel some kind of pressure on my hands, I have cultivated the habit of rubbing my palms (didn't have before). And my periods are also late (2 days for now), usually they're on time.
I can't stop overthinking about everything and being worried. I am unable to focus on my daily activities. And my work productivity also reduced though I am working for 11-12 hours a day as I can't focus.
Please suggest measures to take to feel better.

Dear mam
I can imagine it must be quite difficult for you.
Feeling sad, lack of interest in thing that you liked doing before, feeling hopeless,lack of energy and focus,disturbed sleep and appetite are all symptoms of depression.depression is a treatable medical condition and can be effectively treated with medications and psychological therapy.please see a psychiatrist for a detailed evaluation and further management. You will also benefit from certain healthy lifestyle techniques like regular exercise and meditation. Talk to your friends and family about how you are feeling.I am certain that you will get better with right treatment and support.
