Monday Anxiety

I consistently have higher anxiety on Monday and even Sunday night. It is most likely because I have to work on Monday and all the stresses and anticipation hits me.

I feel like I go through this cycle almost every week. My anxiety is high on Monday and I spend the rest of the days bringing it down to a level I can more easily cope with. Is there a way to break this pattern? Other than quitting my job of course.

I don’t have any advice right off so hopefully others will. Something tells me you are not alone in this. Just wanted to show my support and send big hugs.

I get this too. I can't seem to cure the low-level dread I feel, but if I have a particularly hard Sunday, I will identify and write down everything about the next day/week that is worrying me. I will try to come up with an action plan for everything I'm worried about.

Sometimes this is enough to reduce the dread back to manageable levels. Sometimes it's not, though.
