For feeling crap on a Sunday.

I look forward to the weekend all week and then end up feeling crap on a Sunday because it's nearly the end of the weekend. Perhaps this is quite common, but has anyone else overcome this and if so, how?

Its called Smonday! I've overcome it by enjoying my Sundays - Sharing time with the family - games afternoon with snacks and drinks. Today we are having a racelette in the garden.

Usually it’s the stress of getting everything ready for the week that makes me feel rubbish so I try to get everything done by Sunday am and then enjoy the rest of the day.
I sorted uniform and laundry on Friday night, did some cleaning yesterday and some today.
Organised food for today and tomorrow and have arranged a walk before dinner and film after.

I’ve always felt like this and have always found Sunday the most depressing day of the week. Hard to overcome unless you genuinely enjoy what you do with your life all week so are enthusiastic to return on Monday.

Yes agree with this, the only time I have felt this way is when I hated my job.

I found the only way to overcome this is to stop working Mondays Grin
Mondays are the worst. Also it's really nice to fully relax and make plans on Sundays knowing you don't have to go to work the next day!

I used to find this and now rather than do all the boring jobs I used to do on a Sunday I get them done earlier in the weekend, have something that’s nice to eat for Sunday night and a glass of wine plus something that’s good to watch. I think growing up Sunday’s were often homework days and then as I got older became chore days so I try to turn them into something nice. Plus I try not to make Mondays an awful work day if I can; it’s made worse when I know Monday will be a long hard day

I feel so miserable that it’s Sunday and the monotony all starts again tomorrow that I’ve just eaten a share bag of M & Ms to myself.
That’s 1010 calories Shock so now I feel more miserable (& a bit sick) than I did before I opened them!

I'm the opposite, I find Saturday mornings really rubbish as there's all the time ahead unstructured and potentially boring!

Thank you for the replies and good tips! The funny thing is, I'm not unhappy during the week. I have 4 kids, including a young baby, so I'm mostly not working at the moment, except little bits here and there (self employed). The week is quite routine orientated, but I'm OK with that and feel quite upbeat mostly. But my DH and 2 older children are at school. I think I just love us all being together and the anticipation of a couple of days of possibilities. But then Sunday is overshadowed by it being the last day!
