Yeah, I experience Sunday anxiety because it drills into my mind, saying, “You need to do something now. Why are you resting?”
Somewhere, the term linear dread surfaced.
It’s an insidious message calling me to action.
What the hell? Who decides action is needed?
I fought this off by replying to the voice, “I’m staring at the ceiling, lying in bed, reminding myself:
I work hard during the week to maintain that ceiling. Now I can appreciate that ceiling for once, without worrying about new maintenance that might pop up tomorrow.”
That is the language I wielded to put the Sunday BS into a perspective I could live with.
I even noticed a spot where the paint is flaking. It’s okay. That spot is not above the bed.

Interesting, Sunday anxiety is a new one on me. I did used to get what I called Monday dread which began in my early years at school and lasted until I retired. There was also end of school holiday dread, which was just like Monday dread x 100 and usually peaked in an evening of total melt down in the last week. Thankfully that did not follow me out of school.
That is just about right. We work too hard. We have to rest on Sunday. That’s reason enough
For sure 🔥
