Your role as a lead is NOT to get the project delivered on time. Instead, your job is to bubble up updates and timelines and let your superiors handle the stress of the impending deadline. It is better for them to hear about delays earlier than be surprised about missed deadlines.
Stress/anxiety comes from rushing due to taking on responsibility for an impossible deadline. Do not rush, but instead work with urgency and learn to deflect the pressure to switch from urgency mode to panic rush mode.
You are not personally responsible for a timeline.
People will yell and scream if you miss whatever boat you are trying to catch. But this is not your problem, your problem is to build what your building with urgency.
The only way to make this mindset shift is to find activities outside work that bring you happiness/grounding/etc so that you can realize that the things you currently think are important are not important and it is only a job.
