Does anyone else tend to get an anxiety over-drive as soon as they have a break or holiday from work? This has happened to me quite a few times before in the past and I'm sure it's linked. I would say I am quite a workaholic. I have always made work the biggest part of my life and in all my jobs I have rarely had breaks/holidays and when I did I never enjoyed them and sometimes even got ill as soon as I had more than 2 days off. I would panic about how work was coping without me and had the urge to always phone in or check my e-mails. It seems that work keeps me going, although at the same time I often resent going to work, because I see other people enjoying their lives and all I do is work, bit that's my choice (in a way). Now, I have a week off and the anxiety has come flooding back. I am worried something will spoil my week, I am convinced I will become ill. I have a friend's Birthday to go to on Sunday, which is at a nice country house and should be fun, but I am just dreading going, as I feel I won't be happy and I'll just be in a panic all the time. Has anyone else ever felt like this? Anything I could do to help myself. Thanks all. :)
