caught up in my work vs caught up with my work

Both phrases are correct, but they are used in slightly different contexts. 'Caught up in my work' implies being deeply engrossed or involved in the work, while 'caught up with my work' suggests being up to date or current with the work. Choosing between the two is a matter of the particular meaning one wishes to convey.
