Narrative:

Originally a 4-DAY schedule. Day 2 started with ZZZ-ZZZ1-ZZZ2-ZZZ1-ZZZ3 then schedule for a 32-hour layover. On flight ZZZ2-ZZZ1; there we were put in holding on the arrival due to a line of thunderstorms over ZZZ1. We held for approximately 45 mins and then we got a rerte. By the time we landed back to ZZZ1; our flight time for the day was about 8 hours 30 mins. The captain and I were exhausted. The captain called scheduling on our behalf and told them we will not be flying to ZZZ3 due to fatigue. They questioned it saying that we had plenty of duty time left. He told them once again -- we are fatigued. So we were released for the evening. I went to the hotel and the plan was for us to deadhead to ZZZ3 the next day and pick up the remainder of the trip. I got a call from scheduling saying we are being reassigned and now flying to ZZZ4 and to deadhead back the next day. When I arrived to the hotel; I received a call stating that I now have 2 more additional days of flying (for a total of a 6-DAY trip) for a total scheduled for time of 29 hours 34 mins. By the end of this 6-DAY schedule; I was mentally wiped out. Too much flying after a couple reassignments. Extremely mentally and physically fatiguing.
