Simply, I'm tired. Fatigued.
Je suis épuisée.
I am dried out.
Je suis vidée.
I am emptied.
Je suis mort de fatigue.
I am dead from tiredness.
Je suis sur les rotules.
I am on my knees.
Je suis crevé.
I'm exhausted ...'un crevaison' means a puncture.
Je suis claquée.
To 'claque' is making a very loud or piercing noise. The closest thing I can think of is 'I'm slammed' or 'I'm shot' [English colloquial].
I am not emptied or dried out. I am simply fatiguée, but committed to publishing every day.
Habits should be so ingrained that you will push through, despite parts of your brain suggesting otherwise.
