Anxiety on pumping schedule at work

Does anyone has anxiety over pumping schedule at work? I'm in a job where I have lots of regional meetings and it's of different timings everyday. I found it hard to have a regular pumping schedule as I have already decreased my sessions to x4 a day (x2 at work) and sometimes I pump more than 6 hours. Just lots of anxiety and worried that it will affect my supply. My environment also made it tough to opt for wearable pump.
