I am back to work tomorrow after two weeks annual leave. I have had a lovely relaxing time off. Slightly different from our normal summer holiday just went out for days, pottered around the house, sorted the garden out, met with friends and family.
I woke up on Wednesday like a bear with a sore head and a feeling of impending doom thinking about work on Monday.
Since Wednesday the feeling has just escalated and I feel like a big black cloud has descended. I am trying to put it at the back of my mind but I just feel bleak. We have been out every day since Wednesday but I haven’t enjoyed any of it.
At the minute I am looking at Facebook and all the people who are packing to go away for the next two weeks.
I sometimes think what’s the point of taking leave from work to feel like this it’s just miserable. Maybe I should just book a couple of days of here and there. The worst bit is that I quite like my job (healthcare and working with covid) so I can’t understand why I feel like this.
Does anyone else feel like this and how do you cheer yourself up. How do people manage their leave. A lot of people I work with don’t have two weeks off as they say it makes going back to work worse.
