Emotional Exhaustion Quotes Novels & Stories

There is static in my head once more, the side effect of this constant fear, constant stress I live with. It's exhausting. When you lose yourself trying to please others nothing about it is easy. It's exhausting to be the bigger person. It's exhausting caring about people as much as you do. It's exhausting staying up late overthinking every mistake wishing you could just make it right.

I can't stop myself.

Mas lalo siyang nadidismaya. Tiningnan niya si Charity. Isang mapait at malamig na ngiti ang unti-unting sumilay sa kanyang mga labi. "Ma..." bulong niya, ang boses ay halos hangin na lang ngunit may pinal na bigat. "I’m so tired.

Buti na lang talaga na kahit na anong bigat na nararamdaman ko I can still laugh genuinely. Living an exhausted life is so tiring, but what can I do? As if I can simply stop and end myself in just a snap of a finger. I don't have any choice but to live the life I'm trying to fight right now. Dati-rati naman hindi ganito ang pakiramdam ko, kaya lang simula nang malaman ko ang tungkol sa utang, para bang isa-isang bumagsak sa akin ang kamalasan. Kinabukasan maaga akong naihatid ni Ash sa airport. Buti na lang din talaga ay walang traffic. Mukhang sumasabay sa akin ang tadhana ngayon.

Hindi gumana ang pagmamatigas niya kaya naman susubukan niyang umapila ng may pagpapakumbaba. Agad niyang pinalambot ang linya ng kanyang mukha, at sa mababang tinig ay sinabi, “You know how busy I am these days. Wala akong dapat sayangin na oras. I should seize every minute that counts. I have my deadlines and ideas are just pouring in my mind at this moment. You know the flow of my work. Can’t you just be more understanding?”

“Ayaw ko siyang sumagi sa isipan ko, Jas. I’m trying not to get distracted, so I work hard. But the problem is I didn’t even realize that my body was kinda exhausted from everything.” I nodded my head. Honestly, I understand her. Hindi ko naman siya masisisi kung ganoon ang kaniyang nararamdaman, at gusto. Pero sana ay huwag naman niyang abusuhin ang sarili niya. Hindi naman siya sanay sa ganoong klaseng buhay, eh. ‘Yong ganoong routine, sobrang delikado. Kahit nga ako, nahirapan, pero nasanay rin naman. Pakiramdam ko nga ay kapag hindi ako nagtrabaho nang ganoong kalala, nanghihina ako. Nagkasasakit na hindi ko maintindihan.

Ibang klase, lagi talaga siyang naka-alerto. “I think so,” mahina kong sagot. “Siguro sa pagod kaya ako nagkasakit.” “Don’t try to be strong all the time,” sabi niya, “even superheroes need a break.” Napangiti ako tipid sa comment niya, “I guess… I’ve been ignoring the signs.” “Exactly, sabi niya. “Over fatigue. Next time, sabihan mo ako kapag may nararamdaman ka na. I can handle our work, don’t push yourself if you’re already feeling unwell.”

Tiredness to feel these emotions. Pagod na pagod na ako. Hindi sa kaniya. Hindi sa sitwasyon. Sa lahat. Sa lahat ng mga ito. Exhausted isn't just enough to describe the state I am going through right now. I am exhausted yes, this tiredness is beyond physiological tiredness. It's psychological, it's emotional. I am tired of being strong. I am tired of trying to put on that smile on my face every day of a strong woman and be the Super Woman for anyone and everyone.

Dahan-dahan akong umupo nang mas maayos. Ramdam ko bigat sa dibdib ko. “Sino pa ba ang totoo sa paligid natin?” bulong ko. Hindi na siya tactical question. Hindi na siya strategy. Emotional exhaustion na siya. Trust exhaustion. Parang lahat ng mukha na nakikita ko ngayon, may invisible question mark na. Lumapit si Torren sa table. Hindi mabilis. Hindi threatening. Pero steady.
