I don’t know what’s got into me. I like my job. I’m on annual leave tomorrow, in fact. On Sunday night I have so much anxiety and it’s usually entirely gone by Monday?

YABU - I find Sundays nice/relaxing

YANBU - no matter what I do, I feel the same on Sundays

I feel worse on Sundays but I dont like my job so it’s very much related to that.

YANBU not matter what I have going on Monday I feel anxious and down on Sundays.

It used to be when I worked because my job caused a lot of the anxiety. I’m a SAHM now so Sundays are ok, though sometimes I dread DH going back to work and being left with the baby all day on my own.

I'm disabled and dont work, but yes, sundays always make me a bit panicky, i think it's because so many places have such short hours, or are completely closed, gives me a bit of an isolated feeling.

It's called the Sunday Scaries and very common. End of the free time (and maybe remorse for not doing as much of what you wanted) and start of a new busy week full of challenges.

I’m fine on Sundays if I’m busy, but if my mind is unoccupied I tend to have low mood. I really like my job, so it’s not work related.

You have a point there, everything is shut by 4pm so even if you go out for the afternoon to keep busy, the early closing is unhelpful
