A expressao existe assim.

I cried out/yelled to Mary: (or) I cried out to Mary: I'm dying of exhaustion.
This is the most colloquial way to say this that I could find. The alternatives: cried out/yelled depends on whether the intention is dramatic (cried out) or more casual (yelled). As for "I'm dead tired" or "I'm dying of exhaustion", these are both common colloquial expression, which virtually mean the same thing. The second expression would be preferable only if there is a reference to "dying" in surrounding dialogue or if a more dramatic tone is intended.
