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.

  • Yes, my moods can be different on the weekend. Usually Sunday is the worst day for me, like I get a lot of anxiety and then I'm feeling really down. I think it's because a new week is about to start and then my brain is kind of like oh god what's going to happen this week? What if... blah blah blah..

    I'm terrible for worrying and it makes my anxiety really triggered and difficult.

    But in general my anxiety affects my mood all the time anyway. Though it does seem worse during the weekend, especially on Sundays.
