Working Remotely and Mental Health

Lately, i have been acutely aware of my surroundings and myself. I have noticed multiple times, and it does not matter what time of the day or week it is, that when I come back home, I simply don't want to be here, my body resists it, and it's almost like I am fighting a battle in my head the stress of being at home. This realization hit hard today when I had such a nice day outside and when I came back home, my body just started resisting, but I was not able to make a conclusion about why that was the case. Instinct, meaning immediate reflection without thinking, tells me that I use this space for working my job as well, and my job is incredibly stressful and for many reasons - long hours, people who likes to take shortcuts and aren't respectable, and extremely mundane work- so I don't want to be here because it reminds me of it or I just somehow immediately get the stress that the job gives me. I am almost like traumatized by the space or reminds me of it while I am not fully conscious of it.Has anyone had this experience or can relate in any way possible?
