The fear

[Notsureabouttomorrow]

Does anyone get that Sunday evening fear about Monday morning?

Right now, yes because of a new situation with my work that happens on a Monday and Friday and it's really quire stressful, but usually no.

Yes, we call it the Sunday scaries

I’m on maternity leave and I still get it 😂

Yes! I only work part time now but my job is tedious and I could be doing so much more if I didn't have to work. In my youth I loved my job and couldn't wait to get there on a Monday to be with my colleagues and all the banter/lunches/after work get togethers. Those were the days! I hate Sundays at 9pm (now) when I'm thinking "God, work tomorrow" lol. Hey it's a job. I hated being unemployed more.

I don't work Mondays so no. And I do like my job (WFH currently.)

But I have had jobs where I have felt this way. So YANBU.

I adore my job and I still get Sunday scaries.

The vast majority of us work because we have to (or work a particular type of job because we have to).

As much as I love my job (and I really do - I work for myself, there's no big bad boss), if I had the option not to work at all but still be able to live comfortably - or to do 8 hours a week at a cat sanctuary, to give myself a tiny bit of structure - I would take it in a heartbeat.

Sunday nights are a reminder that all the things I want to do with my life - travel, work on hobbies, etc - rely on me having to go to work. I find that a bit depressing, staring down another 30+ years of working.

Totally. I love Friday night in and unwind from the working week. Saturday morning getting my house in shape, in peace while the rest of the family in. Sunday lie in and a roast. Sunday night i dred as I know Monday morning is looming

I used to,when I was a teacher! Now...I practically skip into work! I LOVE it!! Best decision ever! No amount of summer holidays could convince me to go back to teaching!!

Me too! After 17 long years of teaching and Sunday night dread 😬 I took redundancy and ran for the hills!

Yes

And I really love my job I just always want a bit more time off

Was terrible when in a job I was unhappy in it started as soon as I woke up Sunday morning

@historygeek

Yep. We call is the "Countryfile Fear" as it hits as soon as the theme tune starts!

Haha! It was Songs Of Praise when I was a kid.

The theme tune used to make me feel sick.

I do. And I actually love my job.

Yes but only cos l have just comitted myself to go on a 25mile bike ride tomorrow. Think l would rather go to work!!

@historygeek

Yep. We call is the "Countryfile Fear" as it hits as soon as the theme tune starts!

It used to be Songs of Praise for me when I was a kid. Really depressing!

Snap Worra!

I used to when I was a teacher

Yes, it stems from childhood and dreading going into school because of the bullies. My dad used to watch points of view on a Sunday evening, once I knew that was over, it was time for bed which caused so much anxiety.

Yes I have it now, debating if I should take a betablocker to help :(

Monday is one of my favourite days of the week. A hangover from living in the back of beyond. I loved school and just being able to meet people.

However Sunday is a horrible day. Dull and a bit smug. I quite like working on Sundays just to make it more useful.

Yes, and it is so miserable.

It's the Antique Roadshow and Time Team theme tunes for me. They still make me feel sick about school and I'm 38!

Yes. I thought it would go away after I left school but I'm 33 now and still dread Monday mornings.

Not for the last few years, but I did in my previous job which is when I realised it was time to leave.

Yep, used to start when I'd see Antiques Roadshow on the TV guide. The impending Monday-ness would wash over me. Now it seems to start on Saturday night/Sunday morning.

Yes! And I'm not even able to work but still have that sick feeling of dread on a Sunday evening.

Yes! I don't know why either!
