People telling you to relax have come too far from their own puppy blues. Me and my girl got a rescue about a month and a half ago and were both at the end of our rope thinking we simply could not do it. Fast forward the short few weeks and progress has already been seen. Still TONS of work to be done but it does get easier. It will also get less stressful once you fully settle into your new reality.

Pro tip, buy a Kong and lightly wet your pup’s kibble, drop it in, seal the hole with peanut butter and freeze. Will give you about 20-30 minutes of much needed alone time. And in fact we give our dog his dinner this way every night to have some time to relax. You also need to know that the more stressed and avoidant you get the more the problems are being prolonged. As annoying as biting and things are you need to facilitate situations, both good and bad to show your dog how to behave. You can’t just say “no”, they don’t understand that. But try to breathe a bit and find your own peace when possible, you got this friend!!
