I was wondering whether anyone else on these forums has experienced what some now call "leisure sickness"?
I suffer with anxiety and depression although it's much more under control than it used to be - but still find that when I eventually manage to fit in annual leave from my demanding job, I spend the time just feeling unwell - without being able to put my finger on why. The first day or so is fine, but then I experience what I can only describe as being a tightly strung elastic band that has suddenly gone slack.....
The past week I've had physical aches and pains, fast pulse with a background feeling of anxiety (over what I don't know), increase in fibromyalgic niggles and pains, increased tinnitus and just feeling wound up, unable to relax even though I'm on vacation.
It usually ends up in me actually being glad to get back to work since then my system resumes its normal functioning ... and I'm probably too busy to notice the depression that has built up whilst I'm on leave..
Does anyone else not cope when they are on leave?
