I am done with it or it is done with me?

Is it ok to say, when I've just finished something difficult:
"Either I am done with this (I finished something unpleasent and difficult) or this is done with me (if the work overwhelmed me)"?
  

Top answer

I am done with this. --> This is a good remark, but it means that the task is completely finished, that I will have no more business with this. It means more that the task was frustrating and annoying, not that it was difficult or arduous.

Great,
So when I want to tell someone I can't work any more I can say : "I am all done in!".
In this expression can I also use the adverb "really" in order to highlight the idea?.
thank you
