Possibly: In the short term improved sleep with medication may help with your anxiety and mood. You could try melatonin which helps regular your sleep cycle and is OTC. Of more importance is to address the overload problem in your life. Figure out what's important and worth keeping, get rid of what is not!

Try these first: Anxiety is quite common in these types of situations. It is important to find a healthy balance between life at work and life outside of work. While medication may have a place, things such as exercising, sports, yoga, meditation, eating healthy, spending quality time with loved ones, and engaging in joyful activities and hobbies are likely to prevent and alleviate this form of anxiety.
