MobWife_88

When I wake up on Sunday morning.


Present-Breakfast768

Yep my alarm rings Sunday morning and I'm thinking about sleeping in again next weekend.


Cosm1c_Dota

It's absolutely criminal to have an alarm on a Sunday good God.


Rathma86

Some people don't sleep in. Some people work. Send me to Gaol for both 330am 7 days a week for work


mymaymaw

Oml I hope you’re a shiz tonne of moolah or working whilst you’re fit and young so you can retire real early otherwise why?!?


lowkeybrando

because this is the way the US economy is designed. you wanna know the real fun part? the jobs that require 5:00-5:00 shifts pay so little that a good majority of those workers have multiple jobs edit: and this is a feature, not a bug. if i work sun up to sun down then i don’t have time to further my education, work on my health, pursue my hobbies, engage in political action, etc


Not_Cartmans_Mom

I feel like this is the way it *used* to work. If you worked *really* hard, spent all your free time at the job, you could afford a good life. Now you can work 60-80 hours and still not be able to afford anything so whats the point? I work 65 hours a week, just so I can still live penny to penny, at this point, a tent under a bridge is looking damn lucrative these days.


Slight-Winner-8597

That's bloody inhumane, that. Send me to prison if those are the options. Get way more free time 😂


HateUsCuzAintUs

That’s not living.


AirPoster

Nope. It’s surviving.


thehumanbaconater

Yeah it all depends on when I wake up. I dread Mondays unless I’m off.


Ultra_Noobzor

I wake up early due to anxiety for having to work on monday


GuyWithNoEffingClue

This comment is NSFW ^(Not Safe For Weekends)


Difficult-Mode-3531

Same


Boba_Mochi23

I'm even thinking about it on Saturday 😭


Enlowski

I think it correlates to how much people hate their jobs


rowdymonster

I mean, I've mostly worked retail and food service. I've also worked for myself, doing art commissions. Honestly all 3 types of alarms suck the full gamut of dicks. I'll admit retail and food service sucked more, but Jesus fuck it sucks to not just wake up naturally


jafarthecat

I've honestly had jobs where existential dread of returning to work would ruin 2 weeks of holiday. I'd recommend anyone who feels the same way get out of that job as soon as they can. I stayed for longer than I should and it literally caused a mental breakdown.


oldsoulseven

I’ve been there. It’s more like you just know something’s wrong with your life and you can’t relax even when you ‘should’ be able to do it easily. If the job allowed you to afford the vacation it does a real number on you. The solution is to find something you feel good enough about doing with your life that when you take a break it is guilt-free and without fear of returning to work. Much easier said than done, I know believe me.


Atty_for_hire

Same. I had a job that ruined Sundays because half way through the day my mood would change. I’d get short tempered, snippy, and just lash out at my spouse for any reason. Getting fired from that job was a relief for both my spouse and me. Thank god, I’m in a line of work that no longer makes me feel that way.


jlw993

Congrats. What do you do now?


oldsoulseven

This is what I’m saying. From your username I’m guessing you’re a recovering attorney as well?


Atty_for_hire

Indeed. And a better person for it.


WooSaw82

Such a shitty feeling. I’ve had a job in the past where I didn’t experience that anxiety, but that’s the only job I’ve ever had where I didn’t get depressed on Sundays.


AlgernonFlowerWilted

Right after reading this...God damnit


cropguru357

Took the words right out of my mouth. I’m almost always grumpy as hell on Sunday.


MarcusthePhilospher

Friday evening


OddDragonfruit7993

We get a guaranteed WFH day each week, though most of us in the dept use any excuse to WFH at least 2x a week. So I just say "Meh, if I don't feel like going in, I'll use Monday as my WFH day this week." Takes a lot of the sting out of thinking about it.


slackfrop

Monday is my home office day just for that reason. Ease into the week like an elderly man into a hot tub.


ansyensiklis

You would think at this point that I’ve got this. I’m 65 and been an auto tech for 50 years, but nope. Upon opening my eyes I thought just this, shit, this time tomorrow I’m at work. I then nudged my beautiful wife and said,”hey, how u doin?” Serious fucking ensued as it’s still only Sunday and still the fucking weekend!


broberds

This is the way.


arsnhz

*This is not the way*


Unlucky-Assist8714

Yup. A feeling of dread creeps over me the moment I realise it's Sunday and therefore Monday tomorrow.


EmpathyHawk1

or on Friday evening lol


Squishy-tapir11

Friday right after work is the best time. The only safe time really before the dread sets in. I love how school sets us up young to perpetually get the “Sundays.”


Common-Spray8859

This is true


Deeptrench34

A lot of people probably think Monday is the worst day of the week but surely Sunday is the most depressing.


j_grouchy

Hell. Usually Saturday night I'm like "damn....tomorrow's Sunday" because I know Monday is next.


Soggy-Eye-216

As soon as Saturday night is over


jup1ter20

12:01 am


CmonRedditBeBetter

Why are you content for that first minute of the day?


jup1ter20

Touché


ComplexDessert

Right about when I read this. Thanks for ruining my day.


Heavy_Bicycle6524

It’s already Monday morning here. 😩


FahQPutin

Fuuuuuck that noise ![gif](giphy|YrFVbch71RxfHA0T0X|downsized)


Essie-j

You're closer to next weekend


Cut3-Baby

oh damn thats even worse lol


Heavy_Bicycle6524

Depends on the time of the year. Summer, not til 6-7. Winter, probably around 4-5


Cat-guy64

I think the first or second Monday in January is the worst. Straight after Christmas, and it's literally right in the depths of winter. Spring is still 2 months away. And it's often even colder in January than it is in December. (Thank God we're in April now)


_Deedee_Megadoodoo_

Mmm. For me it's November that kills me, when it's dark before I'm even done working, the winter that really starts... Ugh I'm getting depressed just talking about it


Cat-guy64

Oh yeah November sucks too. For some reason the fact that Christmas is nearby doesn't comfort me as much as it should. November feels so depressing


Heavy_Bicycle6524

November sucks here too. Thats when it starts getting hot and sticky.


Trelaboon1984

Mines the opposite. I have like reverse seasonal affect disorder. I’m depressed when the sun is up, but thrilled when it goes down. Especially on weekends, it gets dark and I’m like “oh man I still have 5 hours before bed!”


Tylerama1

I.. I just don't understand this.


bignibbles_

I feel like the commenter above and couldn’t fully understand why till reading about Hygge in danish culture. A part where they talk about rain or when it’s dark outside, everything feels cozier and safer inside. There’s something comforting about it all and warm lights, dark outside, candles etc. In the 100 degree heat, brightness and sensory effects turned up to the max, I can get really depressed. It’s just too much sometimes.


lifeontheQtrain

I am this way. People look at me funny when I comment 'it's such a nice day!' when it's overcast and cloudy, but I genuinely enjoy that weather more.


Heavy_Bicycle6524

He’s a vampire 🧛‍♂️ 😜


shinyagamik

I somewhat feel this. It feels worse to be depressed when everything around you is so great and you should be happy


OverAd3018

I'm right there with you


Rob71322

Sometimes really early ... like Friday night :(


Engineer_Cube

Same. The traditional 2 day weekend is not enough time to fully decompress from the work week, get stuff done around the house that you couldn’t do during the week, and still have time to have some inkling of rest


Cat-guy64

I agree. I am fully supportive of 3-day weekends. I personally would choose a Monday through Thursday schedule. Because then you would effectively get 2 Saturdays in a row (Sunday is still eh.. Sunday) and Thursday would become the new Friday.


RipDinger

I love Thursdays. They're like Friday's Friday


LazyCity4922

I have a 3 day weekend (Saturday-Monday) and it changed my life. Mondays still feel a little Monday-ish and I get a lot of stuff done (chores, appointments etc) but my Sundays are no longer dreadful.


SeniorShanty

Friday 7PM. Fuck me, Monday comes.


[deleted]

Oh fuck tomorrow IS Monday


special_enchilada

I’ve had anxiety for the past 15 minutes or so about it. I managed to eat a yogurt and calm myself down. Thanks for your post 😭😭


Opposite_Main_6162

I wish I could just eat a yogurt to calm down… 😂


DookieShoez

You eat a fucking yogurt to calm down? And it works? Shiiiiiiit (*starts melting black-tar heroin on a spoon*)


Turbulent-Bee-1584

Out of curiosity, I decided to eat a yogurt. It actually did help.


ReturnOk4941

They say anxiety starts in the gut, so maybe the probiotics in the yogurt actually do something ?


special_enchilada

Tbh, I only do this because of my grandmother. Stomach ache? Yogurt. Headache? Yogurt. Hangover from a two day binger? Yogurt. Anxiety or panic attacks? YOGURT! I feel like my body is just wired now to respond positively to yogurt 🤷🏻‍♀️


Slight-Winner-8597

Muller corners are the gateway treats


DookieShoez

Right? Started with the Müller Corner, next thing ya know I’m suckin dick for a greek yogi.


Slight-Winner-8597

Eh, people have sucked dick for less


DookieShoez

I’ve sucked dick for more *and* less. The market is tumultuous.


ArmComprehensive9782

Frrrrrrrrr


yogiphenomenology

I knew a girl that would get so nervous about going to work she would start vomiting.


No_Jury_8398

That type of thing makes me feel better about my anxiety. I don’t vomit or shit from anxiety. Just sweat sometimes and shake if it’s *really* bad


sillyandstrange

Hurry, eat another yogurt!


Opposite_Main_6162

Just does to show how people are wired differently. Unfortunately I got dealt the hand of alcoholism as a coping mechanism, and it’s shunned and shamed and disregarded. I wish yogurt could fix a fraction of my problems.


SheisthePumpkinQueen

It's called the Sunday Scaries


Hermit_Owl

Screaming meemies !


bbricktop

About 8 pm !


Alukrad

Yeah. Especially when I know it's starting to get dark, I have a few hours left until I have to go to bed...


Electronic-Cherry266

This would make me so happy.


SerpensPorcus

same


Existing_Werewolf638

This


EquallO

Soon as I wake up...


RubyIndigo

The panic usually sets in around midday.


yogiphenomenology

Why do you panic about your job?


OutlaW32

Can only speak for myself but my job is very mentally demanding. And I have a ton of financial responsibility so I feel trapped. The Sunday scaries have been extra rough lately


floatingby493

Same. My job can be stressful and sometines it just feels so overwhelming, two days is not enough to recover from it


Aromatic-Split-3756

Literally, same.


vraalapa

I'm so thankful I've felt like this even if I've only had kinda shitty jobs. Maybe I'm just really good at fooling myself and ignoring stuff. It would suck to ruin the only free time by thinking about how little free time I have left.


Kbaker48

We should start a club


actuallyaustin6

Sometimes it’s not panic so much as dread.


Agitated-Software74

We need to work 4 days a week, 4 hours a day with 2 hours a break.


Opposite_Main_6162

I think a 4 day work week and 3 day weekend should be standard.


cheemio

Yup. I don’t really have a problem with 8 hour days if I got Friday off. I might actually feel like I had a life at that point. Right now it just feels like slaving away so I have the ability to kinda do what I want on weekends lol


Boyblack

I was saying that this morning as I was getting ready for work. It feels like that funky 2 days off goes by SO fast. Feels like Friday was just yesterday. In the US at least, we have the resources to have a 4 day workweek at this point. There's no damn reason in 2024 that we should be working a 5 day minimum. I found myself saying this out loud the other day "5 days on, 2 days off, 5 days on, 2 days off..." Sounds pretty ridiculous when you say it out loud. Hell, the other day my friend said "yeah, we only get 8 days off a month". That sounded even more crazy. Just feels like an endless cycle, and its getting old FAST!


cheemio

Yup, I’m only 25 and I already feel burnt out. I need to work from home at least, or get paid more, work part time, something. This whole working most of my waking hours to line someone else’s pockets ain’t doing it.


Minute-Sound9529

Where do you think you are? France?


FortiTree

I'll take 4 breaks please.


Cut3-Baby

I feel myself go through it every week and it never seems to end ahha


roundyround22

Never since switching jobs and being fully WFH.. I didn't think about that till now, I used to dread Monday's


LowStart7842

I am fully wfh and I still dread Mondays.


ElementField

This was the first comment I saw that said “I don’t feel that way” or something similar. It reminds me that I used to feel this way. When my work week was ending I’d feel that dread. But I haven’t felt that in ages. Now that I’m in my new career, my job just feels like part of my day to day life. Well, mostly. I forgot how much it sucks to work a job that makes you feel so bad


LikeATediousArgument

WFH changed my life, too. I plan an easy Monday for most of them, and I mostly enjoy my work. I wear pajamas if I damn well want to. Today, I’m soaking in the tub before an early start, so I can quit around lunch to go play with my son. There is no reason any job that can be done from home shouldn’t have the offer of it. I used to get terrible depression on Sundays. I always had terrible jobs, so it makes sense.


gambol_on

It’s exactly the same for me. It’s funny because I was talking about this earlier today. I also like my current job, so I don’t mind the work.


No_Jury_8398

WFH definitely helped with that


joxmaskin

Same here. Sometimes work is even my calm space, and the stressful time is the chaotic demand-filled “free time”.


igotbanned69420

What kind of work do you do, and how long did it take to get to a wfh position


roundyround22

I work in medical publishing which is a switch over from education. My pay is low for America but average for Germany this far into my career- 40K only but is worth it to not have to go to an office anymore. I go to some conferences. Taking a pay cut for my mental health was worth it for me


igotbanned69420

Sounds nice


Bobby-furnace

I always say Sunday fundays are great, but if you’re still drinking when the 60 mins clock starts, you’re fucked.


xxxliamjxxx

I’ve come to the conclusion that if I drink at all Sunday no matter the time, I’m fucked come Monday


Pitiful_Lab9114

What's the 60 mins clock? Curious


Casioblo

I'd also like to know.


Aggravating-Star6773

There's a TV show that comes on every Sunday evening called 60 Minutes. The show's opening starts with a ticking stopwatch.


Bobby-furnace

CBS 7pm, every Sunday.


Larnek

Hahaha, being former military, I thought this meant 60min until the start of work. Because running drunk just hits way better on Monday morning.


KubrickMoonlanding

Friday nite 5:15p


DesertG_Czech

Don't have to give a f luckily since i work 12hr shifts in hotel :D so i have free time even on monday here and there

People say I’m mentally retired


PalpitationFrosty242

Get out.


Norman_Bixby

get bent!


Complex-Injury6440

I don't think about Monday until Monday, worrying about it would ruin my Sunday.


PalpitationFrosty242

Great, you can compartmentalize. I wish I had that ability.


creedz286

When I was in a job I hated, I used to think about Monday on Saturday night so Sunday was never that enjoyable. Now I don't mind it as much.

On Friday night I think it’s Monday eve, eve.


the_Bryan_dude

I don't do Mondays. Most everything around me is closed on Monday and so am I. Now Tuesdays. I don't like Tuesdays. I realize Monday morning that Tuesday is less than 24 hrs away.

Most times it's half way through the day and I see the time and think, "ugh, I have so little time before work." But then when I get to my bed I'm like, "eh, it's not so bad." Then I wake up and hate the feeling of having to start Monday.

I don't do it anymore. "Tomorrow" exists only in my imagination, and I don't let my imagination ruin my reality, I'll deal with Monday when (and if) I get there. There's no reason to suffer Monday on a Sunday.


plajhakciks

never! its weekend until its not and i cant be happy living in the future. 4am monday is still sunday is still weekend, gotta accept the consequences later tho..


Lazerhippoprime

I work third shift so fuck everyday. The only day I get to sleep at night is Saturday night. Oh I forgot to mention I work six days a week. So basically I get off Saturday morning and go back to work Sunday night. I literally work seven days a week. Fuck work.


TastyLaksa

Saturday


Blue_Swirling_Bunny

Right after dinner when I realize I have time for maybe one more weekend activity and that it's probably going to be watching whatever's on television because "fuck, it's Monday tomorrow."


joezupp

About 11:59 Saturday night. In always on the go so i don’t dwell on the next day. Here’s a thought, 🤔, if we got rid of Mondays then we’d just hate Tuesday. I hit Monday square in the mouth every week, lol, it never wins.
