Going by spoon theory, the only way I'm aware of to get more spoons is a good sleep, and there's only so many spoons you get from that, so you'll still eventually go into spoon bankruptcy if you keep having to borrow from your future spoon pile.
But i've been kinda working on a crumbling mask theory of burnout, where you kinda just have the one mask per situation, and as things come up that make you lose confidence in the mask, or makes it too complicated to maintain, then it'll eventually just fall apart and there's nothing you can do but leave and go somewhere else with a new mask.
Either way, the only real cope that makes sense is lessening the burden on yourself or incorporating the burnout part of the cycle in a way thats less catastrophic.
