#(exhausted)

[ourwilduntamedhearts]

Everyone talks about how Millennials already have picked up grandparent hobbies. We knit, garden, whittle, and bake bread. I think this is because we’ve already been through so much in such a short time. We’re exhausted. All we want to do is wrap ourselves in a sweater, sit in the garden, and watch our plants grow.

I hate the end of the year, it's always a fuss for no reason. Let me just gorge myself on russian salad and fall asleep under the christmas tree, thank you

No more experiences that make me grow as a person. I would just like to rot in bed now

the exhausted eyebags is very good on objects

i’m a horrible influence btw because i would drag you into bed and do absolutely everything in my power to keep you there for as long as possible

An injured/ill/exhausted character rouses partially from their much-needed sleep, giving a faint questioning muzzy murmur, but is readily soothed back into restfulness by a companion's sotto voce reassurances- 'Shh, sleep now, you're safe, I'm right here, rest easy, shh.'

I moved recently to start a new job and part of my commute now involves one of those high capacity toll booths where a two lane road suddenly flares out into 5-7 lanes of total anarchy with no lines anywhere, and then narrows back down to two lanes again, and we're just supposed to sort ourselves out? Who designed this

anyway I dreamed up this helpful anatomical guide on the drive home

small appreciation post for collapsing while still conscious

ok as much as i love a good faint im also a huge sucker for when a character collapses but is still conscious, maybe just dizzy or weak

stumbling or tripping on something and falling to their knees, too weak to stand up again

weak from fever or low blood sugar and failing to get out of a chair, lying on their back or side while the dizziness subsides (i actually had a fic planned for this at one point)

slumping into a chair because they cant stand anymore

reaching out to a table or wall for support and sliding to the floor (!!!)

sitting on the floor already but they slump to the side out of exhaustion

that thing where they throw their arm across their eyes out of exhaustion or dizziness (honestly one of my favorites)

there are probably a lot more im missing rn so feel free to add on!!

How the fuck am I supposed to explain chronic fatigue to someone??? Like I need at least one nap a day to even kind of function in addition to going to sleep earlier than most people might. I am constantly exhausted, I wake up exhausted and I end the day absolutely drained and then I’m expected to do it all again the next day. How the fuck do I explain that sometimes even doing nothing is exhausting? How do I explain that I can’t do things sometimes because I’m so far past tired that I’m essentially not functioning? How do I explain to someone who says they get exhausted but can still function when they’re at that point that my exhausted is completely and utterly different?

Doesn't bother me though 'cause I'm having a Good Morning every day!!!

A character so keyed up after an ordeal, having been continuously 'on' for so long, so far past the point of exhaustion, running on fumes and determination and stimulants and sheer bloody-minded stubbornness, that they're operating by rote, fallen into a single-minded rut of goal and action and incapable of switching off, even once they've achieved their purpose or it's been rendered moot, until given permission by a trusted companion or authority to stand down, relax, sleep, rest- and it's that that has them finally dropping like a puppet with its strings cut, either metaphorically or literally.

Thinking about how exhausted Neal must have been here after everything than happened in "Point Break" and then Mozzie getting shot 🥺
