I've got a ton of work to do, a couple of projects that are getting pretty tight to the deadline, and I have to try to send out some comps tonight to a client. I feel totally time pressured and just about everything seems to be getting in the way, such as the quality of air in this room to the temperature to the quietest ambient sounds.
Everything is making me so angry and I can't get anything done. I feel like I'm going through a serious creative drought. It also doesn't help that I've got something pretty huge on my mind which has been disrupting me all week. Actually, I think most of my problems are stemming from what I've got on my mind.
I seriously need to clear my head and get some work done or pretty soon I'll be out of a job. I just needed some way of venting...

eh - I've been there before. I can't speak for what's on your mind obviously - but I find the best thing to do when faced with something like that - is to go for a walk to clear your head, then hunker down with a nice glass of wine or a beer.

if you can't get it done under the deadline, talk to who you need to talk to and move it back. get it done without the pressure. quality ensues

maybe i'll go for a walk, even if it is cold and rainy. the shit on my mind is a bit complicated but let's just say it's girl trouble and leave it at that. man i'm so emo. :P

I hate that feeling, that happened to me a couple weeks ago and I was up for 60 hours straight.
I did the same, tried to take it one thing at a time and was able to get one of my deadlines extended which helped a ton.
I also usually find going for a walk or a jog, and then having a long shower usually helps me calm down and focus.
