led in bed, little one asleep next to me. .and I can't stop thinking about starting another week of work tomorrow and how full of dread I am over it.

I love my job, honestly. But somewhere along the way I've stopped enjoying actually doing it. makes no sense

Im finding it very difficult to get enthusiastic about the week ahead. Anyone else feel like this?

aibu to hide underneath the duvet and pretend I don't have any responsibilities tomorrow?

Yes. Totally.

Love my job. But have had my hours and role mucked about and now I really don't want to go in.

Im so tired I need to sleep before my alarm clock sounds that its 6 am again. . but all I can think about is how shit it is. I have no life...

sounds like though you may love the job you might be after a new challenge and you're bored. i'd put the feelers out.

I shall hide in solidarity. Grin

I'm feeling the same, I was volunteered to help on a project and I'm hating it. I like my usual job role and don't mind going to work but now I dread it. Here's to next weekend!

Felt exactly like this when I went back to work after having DS. Tried going full time, then part time, then changing roles somewhat (in retrospect my firm was pretty tolerant!) but each change just highlighted that it wasn't working for me any more. I couldn't deal with working to other people's requirements and timescales when I had a baby at home that needed me too.

So I handed in my notice in Feb, walked out the door in April and struck out on my own - no money made yet but it's looking promising by year end...(ignoring the tiny detail of DS2 due to be born in 2.5 weeks!!)

Another one who knows how you feel - my job should be the best in the world (and it was) but my line manager borders on incompetent as they don't understand the business and are task orientated (doesn't work in our environment) so used a scatter gun approach to assigning work - end result = 10 pissed off people. Confused

Change jobs if that's at all possible. 2 years ago I felt like this. Every Sunday night I lay in bed awake dreading the week ahead. I couldn't sleep so was always exhausted on Monday mornings. It got to the point where it was so bad I would spend most of Sunday crying. Ended up resigning without another job to go to just so I had an end point. Do not let it get this bad !!

I just wish I could afford to be a sahm. I miss my baby.

I can't leave. .Ive got it so good. It would be craziness.

I go part time soon..I hope I feel better then ..
