Absolutely. Same thing as you-- for the same reasons, I dread going to bed. I dread waking up. I do everything I can to avoid being at my desk.

This all started about six months into quarantine. Went away briefly but now back with a vengeance.

While I do have some personal drama going on, I'm thinking SAD is playing some part in this too-- the days are shorter and darker. I was already prone to that pre-COVID.

Mind that your relaxation space and work space are now permanently commingled. You can't get away from work. It lives with you now.

I don't have a solution for you, but hang in there. It should get better when you regain the option of leaving your work at the office.

I outfitted my home where I work with 100 watt equivalent LED light bulbs and LED shop lights aimed at the ceiling for super bright indirect lighting.

The result has been several years of easier waking in the morning all year and no more SAD during winter.

The downside is the gloominess of other people’s dimmer lighting is very apparent to me.

Clever. Will try that!
