Hello everyone,
Here is a question for those of you working.
I work full time. I work because I have to, really. But, I find that when I'm at home I feel much more at ease. I don't have as many racing thoughts. My mood is more stable. I still struggle with concentration and organization, but I just feel more relaxed. I don't feel as anxious, and even when I can't concentrate, I don't get irritated as easily by it.
But at work I'm a total mess.
Does anyone else notice this? I feel healthier at home. Like over the three day weekend, by yesterday I felt great. It was my third day home. I felt almost stable. Today, however, I'm back to being a mess, and I feel like I didn't have a single day off... I don't get it. Can work be making me worse?
