Sneaky Stress

We are going through some major changes at work, and have known about this since the end of September, but only in the last week or so, have those changes started to be developed.  And, they change every day, as the development is fluid until we find what works.

I go home everyday and am totally exhausted.  During the transition, I am not working harder, but I am finding the uncertainty very difficult. I am not very organized nor efficient at what I do at work.  I forget things, and have to redo things.

I do not think I am alone, as when I speak to my co-workers, they describe similar reactions.  So, knowing we are not alone is helpful.  We are meeting regularly to discuss the changes, and the networking and emotional support is helpful.

But, we are all surprised at how exhausted we are at the end of the work day.  It is due to stress.  But we know it, it is permissible, and explainable.  However, the stress is sneaky.
