Sunday Syndrome, the worry of Monday.

Roy

I have struggled on Sundays for ages, the day starts well and then the fear of Monday starts to set in, anxiety becomes intolerable and a whole night is spent with insomnia. This has gone on for more years than I can remember. My wife turned round two weeks ago and said to me, “ why do you fight this? Just have Monday off and have a day of doing what you want to do”. We had the discussion that, would Tuesday become Monday? No it doesn’t. To quote the Boomtown rats,  I don’t like Mondays. I am self employed, I never have a lunch hour, that’s 4 hours, I don’t mind working on a Saturday morning, that’s 4 hours. Obviously that’s one days work. I thought my wife would be angry with me for being at home on a Monday. She is an NHS nurse and my best friend. Her answer came from the film, Love Actually through The first lobster. DER!

  • I fully understand this and sympathise with you. Reading this was like I could have written it. I've always feared Mondays massively, spend most of Sunday feeling anxious and dreading tomorrow, and then when Monday comes I spend the whole day feeling 'off'.
    Your wife sounds such a nice and understanding person, I'm glad she's so supportive. I wish my parents were a bit more like that.

    I'll be working this Monday, wish I could take the day off but I just can't afford to, need to try and keep this job and don't want anxiety costing me it.

    Try to be kind to yourself, remember the goods and how well you're doing and when anxiety comes along tell it to get lost lol. I've been trying this lately and it's actually helping a bit.
