Dreading going back to work tomorrow.

[WishingICould]

As i mentioned in a previous thread, i've had this week off as "holiday". I'm back to work tomorrow and i'm dreading it. Most of the people there are pretty bitchy and don't bother talking to me because i'm "quiet" (big deal! There are worse things i could be!). All they do is bitch about other people and moan about their private life. Like i care about that!

I'm just dreading it because even though this week hasn't exactly been all that exciting, at least i wasn't around those people and worrying about what they're thinking/if they think i'm weird/stuck up/a snob. I don't even know why i'm posting this really. I just felt like venting. Hopefully tomorrow won't be too terrible.

That's what I have to deal with whenever I'm around people. When I had a job I was kind of lucky because it was just a few hours. Regret that I don't work there anymore... but whatever, my life will continue to suck...

The day prior to returning to work is always a bad one. I had the same thing last week when I had to go back and I didn't want to. Hopefully it turns out not as bad as you think, and you can enjoy going back.

Ok, so I'm at work. I'm starting to panic a bit because my anxiety is high today and I don't want to face people. I work in a care home so I can't avoid people. I wish I could just disappear.

Hang in there. Do you know what I do when I'm sometimes feeling like that? I say, "F* 'em!! Then I hold my head up high. Who are they to ruin your day!?...

Now, when I'm feeling in a more empathetic mood. I try to remind myself that everyone has their own pain to bear. Some of them are going through personal hardships, others family. Some of them, are putting on a good face but contemplating suicide, while others are just confused and lonely.

Hope you are having less anxiety at work.

Very true, I always feel anxious about the day before work/school because I know I'll be feeling nervous and apprehensive on that day.

I am back in college now, and I look forward to each day there, but I dread the long commute (80 miles a day of driving, but I only go 3 days a week, so 240 miles a week?) and I dread people trying to converse with me, or more so people asking me for answers (I will not allow cheating on my end, if others do it, I do not care, but I will have no part in it.). I empathize with you on your issue.

I had a week off work recently, and hated going back afterwards. It's always the same pattern though - dread going back after time off, but after a few days I'm normally ok and back in the groove so to speak.

But I'd still rather be off

I feel like that every weekend. Happy and relieved on a Friday sad and anxious on a Sunday night.

 

[WishingICould]

Well, i made it through. Off to work again in a few hours. Hopefully it will be a little better today.

Good luck! You'll do fine.

The anticipation of the event is almost always more dreadful than the event itself. I constantly find myself stressing over something, only later to breeze right through it. A big portion of the anxiety that I feel is mostly pre-event rather than during the actual activity.

Yeah, I get what you mean. I lot of the anxiety is caused by me anticipating things that might happen. I need to just "go with the flow".
