Bad start today
Posted , 5 users are following.
First day back to work after week off for holidays and I am late. Could not manage to get myself up and out the door on time... too depressed by darkness and cold outside. Promised my manager that I will come in mid-morning but feel like a failure already for having no real excuse not to get it together. I knew today would be hard and maybe I dreaded it and let it get to me too much.

Oh dear, I feel your pain! Don't worry. Please take care. Missing one day off work or being late one day won't harm anybody..

I'm better now thank God! Thank you Liz. Just returning to work makes my stomach turn flips. Once I've been there a few days I'm ok. I work with great people. I just think I'm burned out. I'm a Victim Advocate for a Police Dept. and the job is starting to wear on me. At 58 I don't want to be on call anymore. I don't consider myself old, but I'm too old to be called out in the middle of the night to do some hand holding. 😕

Amy, that’s pretty much how I see work now, too... it helps me focus on something else for a bit. It is good that we’re not alone. It is not good having all these weird symptoms and constantly visiting doctors. I hope your first day back at work goes well. Try to take it a step at a time. 🌸
