Mondays are okay now and the depressed sunday completely vanished.
I was talking to some friends once on a Sunday and they were being a bit quiet so I asked what was up and they said they had the "Sunday Scaries." I had to inquire what the sunday scaries were and bashfully noted that I've never felt that before. Made me realize how much I love doing what I do!
Dang. I've heard of the Sunday sads, but scaries is a whole different level.
I used to have that every day of the week. Anxiety attacks were my alarm clock, typically 2 hours before I needed to be up with no chance of getting back to sleep. I stuck it out for 2 years.
Now when I start getting that I make note. If it continues for more than a few months, I quit. (Iβve never been stable even when I took shit, so what difference does it make?)
Itβs not stable, but nothing about the present system is stable, and Iβd rather be unstable on my terms than theirs.
First time I heard the term was while listening to Mr Ballen back in the day.
No more Sunday Scaries?
I was considering posting "Thank god it's monday" on casual conversation earlier today, as that usually means peace of mind with kids back in school, SO at her job, and I at home working remotely.
Remote work so drastically changes the equation for me.
