Do other people feel like this on a Sunday?

I work a 5 day week, full time. On Friday I always feel so relieved I’ve made it through another week. The 2 day weekend feels like there’s 48 hours of peace in front of me where things can’t go wrong (work wise).

But then Sunday comes and there’s the feeling of doing it all over again. A week that could bring angst, problems and crap. I feel I’m treading water just to get to Friday and then the cycle continues.

I have felt like this with every job, so I don’t think changes jobs would be the answer. I can’t imagine feeling like this for the rest of my working life, it’s like my world revolves around work!

We usually have a long lie on Sundays. It’s the day I feel best as have usually slept at least 9 hours!

I dont feel like this.
Some Sundays are really busy, others like today are chilled, where dh does litle jobs around the house and i catch up with my friends.
Tonight I'll have my bath, put hair mask on, do my LED face mask ans a mini foot spa. Clean bedding is on and then I'll have listen to my podcast.
Gym in the morning before work.

For me it’s the school stuff & extracurriculars.

For me it was the Heartbeat theme song! Cold sweat inducing.

Oh yes I remember the Heartbeat theme tune! My DM used to watch it every Sunday night. And that was the dread kicking in...

Yep always had this until I started shift work. Now there is no set pattern so I just enjoy my time off and don’t lose any of it to the sense of impending doom.

I think loads of us get that feeling…..
Sunday mornings are my favourite, but evening comes around too quickly….

I don’t get this, and do quite enjoy my job but my partner does get this and I really feel for him. Unfortunately he finds work extremely stressful.

Yes I have always felt like this in Monday-Friday jobs and at school. I now work condensed full time hours and have Mondays off and this has completely changed my life for the better! If you can do that I highly recommend it.
