Today is my last day of work... for now
I’ve been with a consulting company for 5 years and disliked being there 95% of the time. So on the one hand, I’m really happy about the decision to leave. I have a new consulting job lined up and have two weeks off in between. I should be excited! However, I still have a lot of emotions of self-blame, doubt and anxiety about it. I'm not sure if I'm just nervous about my next job or just not really proud of the thousands of hours of work I put in with my last. Where is the relief I was expecting?

Give yourself a bit of time....things often look a bit different after an adequate space of time. I’ve always thought work was a funny “third space” where we develop relationships and identity that is lost when we leave and that can be a bit traumatic for anyone after 5 years.

I like thinking about this as a "third space" notion. Never thought of it that way

Well first, congrats with moving on. I feel like five years at the same company is considered to be a really long time nowadays. Secondly, change is hard... Maybe that's why you're feeling the way you're feeling.
