Mental weakness and listlessness from prolonged overexertion.  Mentally unsteady and erratic due to mental weakness.  Failure in estimation such as in regard to time or space. Emotions center around the fatigue, and one copes with listlessness, frustration, temporary feelings of being overwhelmed, lack of interest, boredom, mild depression, and occasional resentment and unkindness. One is more prone to be irritable and may be less inclined to be of assistance or do extra work for others, mostly because one needs the extra strength for oneself.
