But I feel like if I tell work no to the extra hours then that will cause issues with them. What should I be doing? The stress and anxiety is getting difficult to manage.

Deep breaths. Maybe think about it for a little bit and if you know you really can’t do those extra shifts, find out if they can adjust your schedule? Or if you can do it, remind them this is outside your schedule and you don’t want to make a habit of it? Sometimes my anxiety comes from a fear of an issue developing in the future.
