Extreme anxiety over not having officially signed offer letter?

I've been on edge this entire recruiting season and thought getting an offer would finally end it. I recently received one from a BB and verbally accepted it via email. However, HR is taking a long time to get me the physical paperwork. Rationally, I know this is bureaucratic bullshit, and I've been connecting with analysts/members of the firm updating me on the status of everything. But I can't stop having extreme anxiety, especially over turning down first rounds and superdays, just because I'm afraid things will go to absolute shit or, for some reason, they will rescind me. Any advice on how to calm the fuck out??
