How does one describe "time-out"?

There comes a time when one's just so exhausted, you know. Of everything, to put it so surely. Spiritual, psychological and emotional exhaustion - so much so that it kind of affects your being. You wouldn't want to talk about it to anyone, you wouldn't want to be made to relive it. You wouldn't want to be questioned about it. I hate it sometimes when people ask me "why". How does one really answer "why are you tired"? I have no answers. 

But I realize that time-outs are necessary. Couples from all walks take time-outs. Where faith is concerned, sometimes one needs a time-out. I do believe however that there needs to a be a distinct point of return.
