I know I am probably stressing over nothing, but this was a big promotion so now I am completely freaking out that I may have botched it with the salary negotiation request.
Someone help talk me down from my panic attack!

Don't sweat it. If it's meant to be....it will work out. There is nothing wrong with you making a counter offer.....I just think it shows confidence on your part.
I think they would feel the same way. And worst thing that I could see happening is that they tell you that what they offered is considered fair on their part.
They have to realize you are also putting yourself out there at a certain risk, and they should respect that.
