former bed side nurse here on sick leave till the end of the month. I should start my new job away from patients with normal working hours on October 1st.

I feel drained, even though I eat and sleep well, the best I’ve slept in months, my circadian rhythm is that of a normal human being, I can cook, go shopping, I even play some hobbies now.

Nobody yells at me or makes passive aggressive or backhanded remarks for me to hear.

The 1st. of October is a week away and I don’t believe I’ll be a fully functioning human being by then, most probably I’ll ask for a 2 week sick leave extension.

what worked for you to go back to your normal self?

      so I’m going to have a way to work and sustain myself while doing some therapy?

      Did you do therapy or simply started your new job and somehow your brain forgot that part of your former life? Talked to friends?

      I’ll watch the video now

    Burnout has lasting effects. The only effective antidote is rest until rest actually leads to recovery once again. I have struggled with actually resting, as opposed to merely pausing, but feeling anxious about the next batch of commitments to try to live up to.

    The quality of your rest is likely to determine what happens next. Rest the best and deepest you can.

    Peace.

      as opposed to merely pausing,

      this is the worst. knowing the shitstorm you stepped away from is going to be a shitstorm when you return, and knowing you can’t influence it but know it’s coming means you can’t actually rest.

      have been through this extensively. good point.

    Sorry to be blunt but at some stage you might have to step back and take a look at your own actions and attitude and see that the only constant in all this is……you. From your own posts over the last 6 months you’ve painted a picture of someone who has issues with pretty much everyone you’ve ever worked with, are filled with hate towards everyone, and can’t get along with your coworkers.

    This is like the 6th thread I’ve seen on here by you, every one almost identical in that you hate your job, you hate everyone there, everyone is mean to you, everyone else is lazy, etc……

    It seems like you have some very deep issues that are causing this behaviour and reaction from both yourself and others.

    I don’t really know the context here, but what’s normal to you? Like, what specifically are you trying to get back to?

      I don’t want to go to work dreading having to go to work, I don’t want to think about how I’m going to be yelled at, what snarky remarks I’m gonna have to hear, what coworkers are going to lazy around while I work and their sit on their asses, I don’t want to prepare a working plan for the day only to be completely ignored by a coworker that, while not my superior, feels and acts like it only because she’s been there longer than me.

      I don’t want to go to work in fear.

      this looks like PTSD now.

      I want to go to work to do the job to the best of my abilities feeling rested, to do my pauses as stipulated in the contract, to avoid drama and go home.
