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."
