Back to work blues.

Ive had a week off which hasnt been too bad. I sent a blog recently about bank holiday blues. Now im getting anxious about being back at work. I just want to shut myself away.

Im quite happy in my little bubble. Im sitting alone listening to music looking out the window at the sea and I feel ok. I know work will stress me but I also dont like holidays where I have to pretend to be enjoying myself.

Life is hard work. Nothing is easy or fun. I have fleeting pleasurable moments like now but they dont last. Oh to be normal. Whatever that is. Living with depression isnt easy. My wife doesnt understand why I feel like this as my life is so good. Just have to keep going.

I feel your pain. I'm back tomorrow after a week off and dreading it already. Starting getting work related emails from my boss from Thursday onwards and i felt so much resentment towards them. I want a new job so badly.

Good luck. I went back into school after working in an office for 17 years. I trained to teach in 91 but only had a few temprary teaching jobs. So I took the first job I could get. In an office.

Work isnt everything but we spend a lot of time there.
