I'd always taken it the other way though - of feeling worn down by despair, tired and exhausted, of wanting, physically, to stop, to rest, to wait it out, but your mind giving your no rest, that inescapable sunken feeling, and despite it all having to keep going, 'cause just curling up simply isn't an option.
