Does anyone else feel a bit down some Sundays?

It’s the least busy day, so we ponder the woes of our lives and the woes of the world. Other days we are too distracted for the moping.

That’s my theory. And I’ve had a few decades of blue Sundays to think about it.

Yes, sometimes. I guess it’s the opposite of why Fridays (or Saturday mornings) are so energizing—you’ve got a whole weekend ahead of you. Sundays, it’s all behind you. Urgh :p

I was just talking about this with someone…Yep, Sunday’s can have that effect from time to time. For me it’s because I’m back to college and the weekend has gone by so fast :/ I love nothing more than a long weekend though.

Is it Sunday neurosis?

Yes! (when the Sunday happens to be part of a weekend off).

It is usually the day when I catch up with all the little chores that accumulated during the week, and for a minute, I’m like “yes! finally! time to ______” (insert something fun that work delayed).

But then this mysterious wave of ennui creeps in…

Only that week or so between the end of the NFL season and the start of NASCAR. Am hoping them athletes start making more this season!

Me and my husband were just talking about this. Starting around Tuesday we begin the weekend list. Next weekend we will go camping, bathe the dogs, put new mulch in the backyard, attend so-and-so’s birthday party, and on and on. Then the weekend comes along and before we know it, it’s Sunday 5pm and we have accomplished only a couple of the things planned and we’re looking at each other asking “Where did the weekend go?”. Then that Sunday ick settles in. Today we discussed getting more tasks done during the week so we can spend more of the weekend on guilt-free fun and relaxation. If we are adamant about this, will the Sunday funk still hit? Who knows. But I can say that for us, this feeling boils down to guilt for all of the procrastinating we did.

Yeah, like Calvin said, it’s like trying to enjoy your last meal before your execution.

@kevbo That’s actually kind of fascinating, haha!
@Symbeline I never actually thought of it like that :I Makes an eerie amount of sense

Nope! Sundays are my day off and that is a good thing in my book! ;)

YES.

For as long as I can remember, I have considered Sunday to be a sort of limbo period in between Saturday and the beginning of the school/work week. I’d give anything to be able to view Sundays with as much positivity as I do Saturdays.

Often. I have felt down on Sundays for as long as I can remember. Don’t know why.

YES! I call it the Sunday blahs. I think it’s because I’m in mourning the end of the weekend and knowing that I have to get up for work on Monday.
