In daily conversations, I often find myself responding with, “I’m tired,” or “I’m okay, just a bit tired.” These phrases are so commonplace that they hardly raise any eyebrows. After a long day at work, a little fatigue seems normal. I might laugh it off, and others might nod in agreement, thinking they understand. Yet, the tiredness I feel goes far beyond a simple lack of sleep.
When I say I’m tired, it’s more than just needing a few extra hours of rest. It’s a deep-seated exhaustion that weighs me down, sapping my energy and motivation. It’s the overwhelming urge to stay in bed or on the couch rather than engaging with the world. Tasks like eating, cleaning, studying, or even socializing become monumental challenges. The anxiety of uncompleted tasks looms over me, but the will to act is absent. I simply lack the energy to move forward.
This feeling of fatigue cannot be remedied by sleeping in on the weekends; it’s a tiredness that demands more than just rest. Sleep becomes my only escape—a temporary reprieve from the emotional and mental weight I carry. I often find myself coming home from work, collapsing into bed, and sleeping for hours, yet I still wake up the next morning feeling the same weariness. My days blur into a routine where I am so drained that all I can do at day’s end is close my eyes and surrender to sleep.
Every time I utter the words “I’m tired,” it belies a deeper struggle within. My mind is crying out, “I’m not okay.” I’m not merely fatigued; I’m numb, isolated, and utterly depleted in every sense. Life feels like an uphill battle, yet expressing these feelings is often challenging. So, I stick with the simple phrase: “I’m tired,” and carry on with my day.
