For those that can relate:

How do you cope?

As for me:

I either go to bed crazy early - around 7 PM when the anxiety is at its worst - taking a sleeping pill, hoping I don’t wake up until morning comes OR I eat until I hate myself.

    I’m not anxious about work. I should’ve been more clear. What’s unreasonably hard is the transition from a day off to a workday.

    I work as a parole officer with the extra task of writing pre sentencing reports to courts in which I state my professional opinion on whether the defendant should be eligible for time served/probation.

      If it’s not the work itself causing anxiety, then what is it about the transition that does?
