Does anyone else get extremely overwhelmed by the thought of work after a longer break? (lemmy.world)

It hasn't been that much longer of a break for me (4 and a half day weekend), but new years doesn't usually have me going to several dinners like Christmas or Thanksgiving and I actually got some really good rest, but I'm extremely upset at the idea of going back to work, it doesn't help that I don't like my job, but I'm too the point that I want to breakdown and/or quit. I've had similar experiences in school, and I'm curious to see if others have this or just me

I worked 4 10 hour days with Wednesdays off for an entire year at a previous job.

It was the happiest I've ever been while working.

Never working longer than two days in a row does something good to the mind and body.

I miss the 4 10's I worked at a prior job. That extra day off each week made a huge difference in my well being. Had time to both decompress and get personal stuff done. Hated the job though, management was demanding and unethical, so eventually quit.
