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!

  • Thank you for your kind messages, the feeling physically sick in the mornings is the worst part. Autistic people tend to be very intelligent and logical people, I can’t work out why anxiety is so prevalent in many of us. 
    I had a massive meltdown about a year ago and had a headache afterwards for days, I thought I had actually damaged my brain. Since then I have been constantly tired and have no interest in anything. To be honest working 4 days a week is as much as I can cope with. I have loved working on classic cars since I was a child, I look at them at work and have no interest. Some days I stop talking completely and don’t eat.

    I spoke to my mother a few weeks ago, through my childhood she tried to commit suicide on many occasions. She said for the first time that she didn’t want to die, she just wanted it all to stop. Don’t worry I’m not going to kill myself but I can now understand where she is coming from if that makes sense.

    Roy do you think you might be experiencing burnout? Some of the things you say chime with me in a period a few years ago that I now recognise as burnout and am probably still recovering from.

    Interesting.........I'm getting more of a "Lazy Town" vibe from this place.......and in terms of my "writings"....well, at times like this, Blankety Blank comparisons are quite literally more than you should hope for.

    Have you seen the film Babylon?  The opening 20 minutes of that film have the appropriate air of chaos......applicable to describe the reliability and cohesion of my thoughts and the aptitude displayed by our new "mighty Forum" at this time.
