Back to reality & dreading it!

Hi All,

Hope you’ve all had a good bank holiday weekend!

We are just back from a week away by the beach & had such a lovely time - despite the fact it rained every day but the feeling of freedom outweighed that completely! But now I can feel myself sinking again at the thought of going back to work tomorrow. Going back to the continuous punch to my stomach every time anyone talks to me about my bosses pregnancy. Every time I look at her (this makes me feel so mean but I can’t help it) I want to sob. I can feel my shoulders & jaw tensing up already. And that horrible back to school sick feeling inside.

What am I going to do? Any advice to get through this would be greatly appreciated ☹️

Xxx

I’m so glad to hear you’ve had a nice week away.

If it makes you feel better my boss is also pregnant and working in a salon environment means the conversation is constantly on babies. Hearing her tell every client how it happened almost too quickly and moaning at every opportunity she gets is super hard for me to listen to. Like you, I could get upset every time I look at her bump.

Anyway, I just wanted to say that it gets easier. By Wednesday I’m sure you’ll be settled back into work and hopefully busy enough to take your mind of this terrible situation you are in. Just know you aren’t alone, this feeling is completely normal and to be expected too. I’ll be feeling the exact same tomorrow when I’m back at work.

Maybe make some nice plans for the weekend to give you something to look forward to? That always helps me 🙂 xx

Babes it must be so hard and because it’s at work it’s not like u can just leave!

If it starts to overwhelm you take deep breathes and focus on your plans and your next steps that should keep you strong xxxx

That’s what my boyfriend says, we’ve got a plan & know we’re doing something about it so focus on that. Which I do try to do & then someone says something & it’s like all rational thinking goes out the window.
