You are obviously under some stress even the year 2020 went off reasonably well. The stress that you feel is not dependent on the stressor, whatever that may be. It is entirely dependent on your perception of stress. Life is difficult no doubt, as a general rule, but what we do adds to the stress in our response. We add to the stress of life instead of reducing it or learning to deal with it. Many of us follow a policy of avoidance. We cannot do that all of our lives. So the first thing to do is to change your perception. For example, look at it as a challenge that you would like to meet with a positive outlook. See everything as a gift from god to perform as though you are doing it for him. God never gives us stress (if he ever does) to deal beyond our capacity. Secondly, build a good constitution mentally, emotionally and physically to combat stress. Eat healthily, sleep well, and exercise regularly. Talk about your emotions regularly to a good friend every day. Learn stress management techniques. Do yoga and meditation. Pray every day to give you the strength, and offer your work as a prayer to him ? you will give your best and you will feel so satisfied when you do it well. You must also talk to your spouse, if you are married, that the workload is getting beyond your means and that you need more support. Finally, learn to delegate much or some of your work to others. If you do not trust, you will find it difficult to delegate.

Betacap is fine, but lonazep which is a benzodiazepine is not advised for such long treatment. Ideal would have been ssris or snris for anxiety. Consult a psychiatrist for getting proper treatment for your anxiety and getting weaned from the medicines. Good luck.
