Thanks, that is a very insightful and a helpful comment. It's happening a lot less for me these days, but have had a recent resurfacing.

Physical exercise and mindfulness can be great helpers, and making time for them even when there doesn't seem to be any is paramount.

FWIW, the resolution for me eventually came when I was able to get a nice feedback loop of breaking off what I thought was a day’s work at the beginning of the day, doing a day’s work, and either succeeding or taking the loss and rescoping for the next day. The sleep deprivation is a cycle from hell, where I can get something done, but it’s at a cost of the next 2 days of productivity, which causes more anxiety...
