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!
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. (I’ve never been stable even when I took shit, so what difference does it make?)
It’s not stable, but nothing about the present system is stable, and I’d rather be unstable on my terms than theirs.
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.
Mondays are okay now and the depressed sunday completely vanished.

Dang. I’ve heard of the Sunday sads, but scaries is a whole different level.

First time I heard the term was while listening to Mr Ballen back in the day.
No more Sunday Scaries?

Remote work so drastically changes the equation for me.
