I stumbled upon this word today. I kind of like it!
Saying I’m tired never seems right because it’s not really the truth. Most of the time I’m not tired. Exhausted? Sure. I guess. Fatigued? Yes, that’s a great deal of it. But overpowered by fatigue. I think that’s closer to the truth.

There’s often a feeling of helplessness with the happiness-sucking, arm-dragging, couch-befriending low energy. To be lost in the drained emptiness of an illness and its accompanying chronic fatigue, I feel like I’m not respecting myself when I say I’m tired. It’s like saying you’re hungry when you haven’t eaten for a week. Hungry doesn’t do it justice. And neither does tired. Seriously, I doubt I’ll say “I’m quanked” (having to explain the word to everyone would be quanking in itself... maybe they’d finally get it) but it’s comforting to know there are somewhat adequate words out there.
