I’ve been working long hours since returning from mat leave nearly two years ago (60 plus hours per week), under lots of stress to deliver. Am in a fairly senior position and have worked hard to get here. Things have gotten worse recently both in terms of bad management and uncertainty about my role in the long term. I am normally a fairly resilient person but am also 7 months pregnant and finding myself mentally and physically exhausted, thoughts about work are always in my mind and I can’t concentrate on anything outside of work - tv, hanging out with my son, conversations with friends, nothing seems to bring me any real joy. So where do I go from here? How do I get myself out of this funk? I have taken a day off today and have some time off coming up but where do I start in getting my head back in the right space ?

Looks like you are working on it.
Take the time off and relax. Just relax. Whatever you like. Get out into the green. Get refreshed. Talk to your GP. Take up yoga. Do something you never thought of doing before, like going on a rollercoaster. Put your family photo on your work desk.
It helps, it really does.

You’re seven months pregnant. You are building a human in your body.

Rest.
