Sadly I just had a week off not long ago to no avail

That sounds like a dream right now!

I do feel like all of my anxiety is work-related... as with many floor positions, the stress level as of late has been high. I also think working nights is taking a toll as well )-:

Hello. I am a long time follower of this site, but first time poster. I feel like this is not a typical post about obsessing over work, because I am not a brand new nurse and haven't started a new job. I have been a nurse for 2 years on a medical step down floor at a large facility. I'm not sure why, but as of late I can not stop having negative thoughts about nursing. When it comes to my job, I am constantly thinking that I forgot something or have done something wrong after my shifts. I just cannot escape my thoughts- even when I have a few days off I am constantly thinking about having to go back to work. I feel like every shift as of late has resulted in me becoming completely overwhelmed. Its gotten to the point that I no longer enjoy what I do whatsoever. My question is... has this happened ever happened to anyone else with over a year of experience/no job change? What did you do?
