I noticed a creeping feeling of anxiety as the deadline approached - it started small, but gradually got worse. The stress was creeping up on me, and I didn’t realize how bad it had gotten until I was having trouble sleeping. Sometimes problems creep up on you slowly, and you don’t notice until they’re big.
