To ask if anyone else gets back to work anxiety after the holidays?

[Rhaegar]

NC for this as may become outing.

I will be going back to work on Tuesday and I'm dreading it. I know I will get no sleep tomorrow night for worrying. The odd thing is, I love my job and look forward to seeing the people I work with. I'm always fine once I get there but it still doesn't stop the fear at the end of every holiday.

Was just wondering if anyone else feels like this or if it's just me?

Feeling the same, got up at 6 am even though the inset day is taking place at a school 5 mins from my house and doesn't start till 10. Feel a bit sick. 😢

I'm back tomorrow after 6 weeks off. I feel sick with anxiety. I hate my job anyway due to stress and it's been so lovely not being there. I will struggle to get any sleep tonight.

I'm not even going back but I had a school-based anxiety dream last night!

YANBU at all, but I’m confused as to why the question would be outing?

I don't get 6 weeks off but can imagine the struggle and worry to go back, I don't want to go back if I get 2 weeks off so 6 must be really difficult.

I know my DC don't want to go back and I guess for some I assume your a teacher? Classes and children might be different. At least in my job there is not often too much change.

You know, within a couple of days it will be like you never had 6 weeks off. Good luck for Tuesday. I will miss my DC when they return on Wednesday.

Dreamt about problems happening at work all last night. Spent two hours awake trying to stop thinking about it. Am new at work and worrying about making a good impression and proving myself. It is a tricky time and I sympathise.

I am not back to work today, but I saw an acquaintance this morning on her way to work and I got anxious on. her. behalf. I struggled with this a lot at school and it's never left me. However, i do now have a strange love for September and fond memories of secondary school, smell of science lab, feeling of finding my way in a huge building, changing season and loads of delicious new learning. Trying to channel this for my LO as we get back into school mode. I don't think the nervousness will ever not be a thing in my mind though!

I wonder whether it's a bit like stage fright - you're going back in to a role, and it can be draining to be a certain person when you haven't had to do it for a while.
