I am "Spent"...

While talking with my friend tonight, sharing and moaning over our fatigue and tiredness during the past few days at work. She sent me a piece of reading which totally describes our current status:

Frank Lipman: “Spent” is the word I use to describe people who are overwhelmed, fatigued and feel older than their years. Does this scenario sound familiar? You wake up in the morning groggy and need coffee or something sugary to get going. Then you need more of the same later in the day to keep going. Your brain feels foggy; you’re not sleeping well; your body aches all over; your cold never goes away; and your sex drive is down. You are running on empty, your energy account is tapped out, you are physically, mentally and emotionally exhausted...you are spent. Interestingly, most people think it is normal to feel like this.
