frazzles

Completely wears down

Frazzles is the state of being worn out or exhausted, almost always appearing in the phrase to a frazzle: By the end of the semester, she was worn to a frazzle.

The word suggests nerves frayed beyond recovery, complete mental or physical depletion.

To frazzle is to exhaust utterly or to fray, as heat frazzles fabric or stress frazzles a person.
