Are there any aspies who also are looking forward to going to work tomorrow?

Light

I am and i don't know if it's normal if you get what I mean, like I can't wait for work tomorrow, it's probably because it's become a routine of the same things happening at the same times at work everyday, I found out that I love knowing exactly what happens at what time everyday now, it does make it better and more comfortable for me.

I rarely tell anyone else that I'm looking forward to work since I know they'll think I'm weird, but sharing it here, I'll probably get a better understanding from everyone else

  • I am going into work today as part of a phased return - feel more like a fazed return. I just don't want to go. I feel awful and very stressed. I do like routine and knowing what is going to happen but there have been changes in work that mean I no longer feel I can cope.

    I know I should get another job but I can't face that or even believe I could do something else.

    I just don't feel understood, accepted or supported in work. That means I have to puy on a front and I am not sure that I can manage that succesfully right now.

    I am not really looking for advice, just getting it off my chest whilst I wait for the time to come when I have to go for the train. :(

  • Me too. I've also managed to get into enough of a routine on a weekend with chores and some rest time that I can enjoy the weekends too now. 

  • totally understand,, predictability, not have to be vigilant in unstructurd environments over the weekend. Functionally and socially in place. You know what is coming, so that vigilant concentrating piece of your danger lookout brain can switch off. Gives you peace and settles you, being activity in a set functional and social activity, you know were you are and are more grounded emotionally.

    There is two types of space, task or non-task space,, aspies prefer task relevant spaces, as it is more predictable in routine. The mind is gear to tasks, hence we can not relax.
