I am feeling super anxious about going back to work tomorrow

Took two weeks off for personal reasons and now that I have to log in tomorrow I am full of dread. I feel sick to my stomach. I know I should be grateful I have a job at all right now, but I just feel so overwhelmed by the thought of rejoining the rat race. I wish I didn't feel this dread weighing me down tonight on my last night of freedom

Oh believe me, it is always dreadful going back. You are not alone in feeling that way.

Sometimes when I get ready to go in, I feel like I am about to go to prison.

I know I should be grateful I have a job at all right now,

Management tries to convince people of that. It helps about as much as telling a kid, "Some starving kid in a poor country would love to have this food!" like when the parents are trying to get their kids to eat some nasty disgusting bullsh^t that would make a pig vomit. Like green bean casserole.

But anyways, remember - "Please remind me again of how lucky I m to work here. I keep forgetting."
@CestManan Green bean casserole! 🤣🤣🤣

I get like this too when had a bit of time off, but once you are there it will feel like you haven't had any time off at all.

@Beautywithin isn't that the truth... The holiday memories evaporate with the first phone call

I feel this. I also go back tomorrow, after nine days off. It's restored me more than I'd expected but I do NOT feel ready to return!
I realised that work can be hard especially when there is over load and negative atmosphere at work.

I know all this too well. The last 2 years I was just waiting for it. COVID dropped the hammer quicker
How are you doing today?
@SW-User Will your stress in any way change what happens?

@SomeMichGuy nope it's useless lol 🙂 I am just focusing on looking for work now figured I'd try to beat the layoff if I can
@SW-User Well, good and just leave the stress behind. It won't change things other than to wear you down.
