Day before workday anxiety - programming.dev

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.

What specifically about work are you anxious about? What kind of work do you do?

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?
