Is it normal to feel terrible coming back to work after vacation?

It feels like prison. I was feeling fine until I sat down at my desk. Now I want to bang my head on the keyboard until I lose consciousness.

    Reality does that, you went and got away from it all, only to come back and nothing has changed, you wonder how life can go round and wonder why tomorrow never changes a damn thing, always one thing to the next but its always the same, you want to get away and stay away and find something more in life than just this. I Say its normal.

    I know the feeling. I just got back from vacation recently.

    It's the first time I've actually been on vacation in a very long time (since I was a child about 10 maybe).

    While I was on vacation, everything felt normal to me. I didn't feel like I was out of place. I felt like I could just stay there if I wanted. I never really got homesick.

    I think if I ever decided to leave for good, I could adapt well to wherever I ended up. I might miss it a little bit, but I don't think I'd miss it like other people do.

    It's normal. I like my career, but of course I don't like the politics that go on in my field (few people like such politics I'm sure). I always feel similarly to what you described after returning to reality after a vacation.

    You need to find something more fulfilling.
