Does your anxiety (if you’re anxious) take up spoons and push you toward burnout?

I’m sitting/lying here worrying and getting more and more tired.

Coping strategies?

    It’s too difficult to give generalised advice because it is fairly context dependent. I know for me that I get anxious a lot if I can’t sleep because then the mind wanders. Knowing that I just do things to distract myself like listening to podcasts during those times so that my brain has something else to focus on.

    It certainly can, though I think there’s a low level which I can tolerate for a long time if not already burned out … assuming I ever get to that state again…
