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 have a different routine and I like my little routines that punctuate my weekdays.

    When I was younger whether single or not I didn't like weekends as either my now ex husband would sit there like a lump and not do anything, my friends were always taken up with family stuff so I often felt lonely and left out. Bank holidays were the same, I'd dread them, days of watching other people having "fun" whilst mine where empty. I later realised that the fun I thought everyone else was having was largely illusory and made up by advertisers.

    Sundays used to be awful, nothing open, compulsory visiting of grandparents every second week, then back to school the next day, Ohh joy...not.

    Agree with you, it is often illusory but the little snapshots of illusion still have a big impact on me. Bank holidays are the same for me too and I remember when everything was closed on a Sunday, going to church which I hated and school the next day, a big dread.
