Weekend Moods?

MArt

Do any of you find your mood is very different at the weekend in comparison to the weekday? More negative?

This is not a new thing for me, it's been going on for a long time and it's often worse at a particular time of day, usually mid afternoon to early evening?

I think it has something to do with the idea that weekends are meant to be 'great' and a 'good time'. Often it's the thought, that everyone looks forward to the weekends, it's the opposite for me, I wont say I hate them but I do feel a sense of dread when they're approaching.

I think it's the time I feel most disconnected, alienated, isolated and lonely. Wherever I go at the weekends all i see is people together, be they partners, friends or family and rarely do I see people on their own, like me!

I find my moods can become quite debilitating and even though there's nothing physically stopping me from doing things, mentally I feel totally paralysed and unable to move!

Any feedback appreciated.

Thanks.

  • weekends used to be good when i was at school, when i left school they became just a normal day as i was unemployed, so nothing special and i lost track of days. never went out then anyway.

    now i work, weekends or any day off i get is good and feels good again. i still rarely go out aside from food shopping, i did a random walk down canal today but i dont go out very often, i probably should as i think my cardio is starting to go down a bit so will likely get ontop of that a bit and organise going out for my quick paced walks or even a run to blast my cardio from all the left over mucus from my last flu i had. i feel the mucus always stays around in your airways until you blast it with a run.

    anyways as for other people doing their social thing, it actually makes me feel happy for some reason i think... i walk past bars and fast food places if i go the long way to tesco and hear people socialising and having their fun and it makes me feel good i suppose.... maybe less isolated. probably the closest i can be to that kind of social stuff. i think at one point in my life other peoples happiness used to annoy me at one point but hat changed, i think perhaps i realise people arnt actually really happy, the celebrities and people on tv being portrayed as overly happy still annoys me, i guess its fakeness that annoys me and i can perceive fakeness on some level perhaps.
