I have GAD that wears me out mentally and physically. It is a chronic problem. Usually I have to plan my life to allow for time to recover or else my health will suffer. When I was a student, I would take days off to rest/recover. It helped keep me well. I don't see anything wrong with this. It may be a problem with employment. There are ways to work around it though.

Unfortunately most people don't understand anxiety.
