basket case
[slang] - someone or something in a useless or
hopeless condition

EXAMPLE
1: After working a 12-hour day and then coming home and
cooking dinner for her family, Tanya felt like a
basket case.

EXAMPLE
2: After running the marathon, Brian felt like a basket case.

NOTE:
You may also see the expression "economic basket case" to
describe an economy that is doing very poorly. Example: After years of
dictatorship, North Korea is an
economic basket case.
