Is there anyone else who simply doesn't feel that this 'break' has been restful?

I finished work on Friday 18th and am going back on the 4th Jan.

It took until Weds 23rd for my eyelids to stop twitching. It took until the 26th for my bad dreams and restless sleep to stop.

And now this week I'm so concerned about potential lockdown, increased tiers, what will happen to schools, and the effect of that on our family and my job that I feel really stressed out.

Anyone else?

Not restful in the slightest! I have never looked forward to work starting again so much and I feel so shitty about it as I would rather work than spend time with the DC

Nope not restful at all. Dd In hospital then she had a serious car accident yesterday. All okay but very upsetting. Then Worry constantly about the Covid rules. I wake up every morning thinking when will it be over. Have a Covid strategy job too which is sending me over the edge. Just thought we had reached a plateau and then everything went to shit.
