You're just tired, not exhausted

The Oxford online dictionary definition of exhaustion is

noun

[mass noun]
  • 1a state of extreme physical or mental tiredness:he was pale with exhaustion

  • 2the action of using something up or the state of being used up:the rapid exhaustion of fossil fuel reserves

  • 3 Logic the process of establishing a conclusion by eliminating all the alternatives.



Mine is

  • Not having the energy to manipulate a crochet hook, something I always love to do.
  • So tired you can't lift your arms to comb your hair (when you had some)
  • The simple action of concentrating enough to watch a trashy TV show is beyond you
  • Stringing a sensible sentence together or holding a basic conversation makes Kevin the teenager sound articulate
  • When you're so tired even falling asleep seems like too much of an effort let alone getting actually into bed.
  • Description would be your internal battery is totally drained, only the basic body functions are working, everything else shuts down.
I think exhaustion is so much worse than being plain tired. It's like saying you have the flu when really it's the common cold (or man flu!) Of course you feel crap, snotty and sore nose, bunged up and a headache. But it's not until you've actually had flu do you realise how much worse it is, a cold is just annoying in comparison.

I've been guilty of it, over exaggerating symptoms or how I feel. But I've been there now, I know the difference. I wont use the word exhaustion now unless it's warranted. But then again it's a long word to use when talking is an effort!

But what do you think? What exaggerations annoy you?

  4. I usually do not drop a bunch of remarks, however I browsed a few of the comments on "You're just tired, not exhausted".
    I do have a couple of questions for you if you do not mind.
    Could it be just me or does it appear like a few of the
    remarks come across as if they are left by brain dead
    visitors? :-P And, if you are posting at other
    sites, I would like to keep up with anything new you have to post.

    Could you post a list of all of your shared sites like your twitter feed, Facebook page or linkedin profile?
