To be ridiculously tearful after a holiday?

[IHTC]

We were away last week and returned on Saturday just gone. I have felt so so sad since we've been back, I could burst into tears and have to distract myself to prevent it actually happening.

Everytime we have a holiday I end up going through this for weeks and I wonder if for some people, a holiday just isn't healthy? I get so caught up in all the fun and love being around all of my family. Then we get back, reality hits and I feel so low.

Is this a thing that nobody talks about? Or am I just being ridiculous as let's be honest, we're very lucky to have had a holiday in the first place!

I’m like this after Christmas is over, so I get where you’re coming from!!

I don’t like the feeling the last holiday we had abroad before the pandemic was so lovely and in one the most beautiful peaceful places. I would move their in a heartbeat but then think eventually I’d get pissed off with the heat, the holiday makers, it wouldn’t be like holiday at all that feeling wouldn’t be the same, life would just transfer to another place. I do like my own bed and comforts after a while.

I am desperate for a bit of a break but the lockdown and restrictions have given more time to appreciate hidden gems locally, support some struggling farms etc near by that we probably wouldn’t have visited as we would have been away, been out cycling and walking more rather than just flopping on a sun lounger although I’m happy to go tomorrow if needed.
