Do people who enjoy their jibs get the back-to-work blues on a Sunday night/Monday morning? And what’s your remedy for this?

Block it out of your mind till you wake up in the morning. It's like whwn you go on holiday and worry you only have a couple of days left, don't think about it.

My remedy was to not work Mondays. It have solved it immensely! It feels like your weekend is limited when you're preparing for work on a Sunday night whereas I can get organised for work on Monday instead.

On balance I do love my job but I get the Sunday night blues more so because I don't want the weekend to end as opposed to starting work on a Monday

Get a job you like only problem weeks and weekends go faster, and before you know it. It will be Christmas again

I used to love going into work on a Monday.

My weekends were busy and tiring, and work was a relief from it.

I did look forward to school holidays though, when I had the house to myself weekdays.

Only there for the money which is bad i know

New sites on route, temp for two weeks to see how we all do.

(Could be too much work or could cope)

But i get sad on a sunday a few times if things are bad at work.

Good idea. I am in a position to reduce to Tues-Fri without affecting the finances so worth considerable thought. Thank you

I think this is my case, rather than me dredging work. Working week flies by but so does the weekend do I somehow feel a bit cheated.

Does that mean you are down to a 4-day week? I am considering it too but might take the Friday off instead. I usually get all the work problems pushed my way on a Friday

I took a 9-5 job after 40 odd years of various shift patterns.

Hated it, really hated it and that Sunday night feeling was causing all sorts of negativity so after 2 years I'm back to shift and loving it.

I can get the Monday blues quite bad. I can start worrying and feeling really meh, and a little anxious. I never get many hours sleep on a Sunday night either because of the thought of work.

The older I get the more I resent work getting in the way of me doing what I want to do with my limited time on this planet (aside from I need to do it to afford the things I want to do)

Sunday nights are the worst!

Sounds like work is not enjoyable/what you want to do? Sorry if this is the case x

You're right, it isn't. One day I will make a change.

I do really hate work at the moment but fortunately there's always something enjoyable about my first day back too

I hated it for years and years. Sunday nights were a misery. Was made redundant and now I work for myself which solved it. I don't think it's worth having that feeling of dread if you can get around it, it affects the whole weekend.

I’m the opposite, I get the blues the night before my day off! Luckily I absolutely love my job, so having a day off is a challenge as I want to be there! I should take a look at that really

. Happy Monday folks, Miss pc

I'm sorry Ruby. It is a horrible feeling. It was affecting my time with my kids because work was so toxic. It's harder in many ways now but I'm glad i was pushed out. What's in the way of you changing jobs?
