I've always been very conscientious about work. Quite anxious and stressy but not in a delibitating way and I've never had to seek treatement or medication for it. My boss is very lax which doesn't help as I feel I have to do everything for both of us. I have an autoimmune disorder which was caused by stress though so it has been a problem in the past.
I came back to work last autumn after having my first baby after years of fertility treatment and in the last few months and especially weeks I just find I don't care. I used to chase around my boss because she's lazy but I don't care any more. If she doesn't care than I don't see why I should. She is retiring soon so she has basically given up herself. So the ball gets dropped. I'm just about doing what I'm supposed to be doing. I'm planning to leave work at the next available opportunity but I can't leave just yet.
I feel silly thinking I have burnout when I've only been back to work since last September!
I've started to feel upset about going to work every Monday which I never experienced before. I feel like it's almost impossible to do my work but then once I'm doing it it's bearable and I can manage.
Any advice greatly received.
