Work pressure/fear of mistakes, being replaced.

So I have a high performance role, I am constantly expected to work on multiple projects as a designer. Appreciation is hardly there but if I make one mistake, or something that I did get any feedback, why is it that I am into the limelight? So, I have been a quiet worker, did my work before deadlines, no trouble employee. But, recently work has become 4 folds and all eyes are on me, I had a bad week of work, people criticising, me being called out in meetings it was a terrible week (tbh, I wasn't at fault, like it was because of 2/3 people but only I was called out.) After that, I fixed a few things, and the situation got better. But, because I am an anxious person and I expect my work to be perfect Every morning since that week I am waking up with heaviness, anxiety, especially Mondays. With every meeting, every email I am getting anxiety. What if a new mistake is found out? what if I get replaced? it's so so draining and how do you focus on your personal life? how do you focus on the good around you when work is not good.
