Lordy I never knew this had a name but I think I’ve fallen victim. I don’t necessarily stress about work, but I know I have to wake up in the morning to go to work and then I can’t sleep because I’m anxious I won’t get enough sleep. It’s so so dumb. I went to bed on time, and didn’t get enough sleep. Thanks, brain.

We all need a third day of the weekend to prepare for Mondays.

I call it Sumonday. It usually hits around 4pm on Sunday. I like to cook when the Sumonday hits. At least I’ll face Monday with good food in the fridge.

The craziest job I ever had, I used to get anxious about having to go in on Monday… On the Friday night! It was toxic to my whole weekend.
Needless to say, I didn’t stay there long. But unfortunately fell (immediately!) Into a replacement job which was rife with professional bullying and where I was completely disrespected and demoralised to the point of questioning my own expertise… But it was on paper a good wage with good benefits package and a very short commute… Then my best mate died suddenly from an aggressive cancer, and my tolerance for bullsh*t went right down and I just walked out that job with zero craps given.
Now I’m in an amazing job where I feel valued and where my skills are used, sometimes I’ll grumble that I should earn more but we’re programmed for that by capitalist culture… I dropped my hours to a four day week and feel in a great place with that right now.

That’s awesome. I’m happy for you. My Sunday scares would start on Saturday night. Needless to say, I quit my job the week I got sober. Best decision.
