Sundays are the Worst

I am healing slowly. Sundays I remain alone and hate being outside by myself. The weather is beautiful now and seems like it is taunting me. I feel so lonely on these days. Does anyone else experience this?

Yes when the sun is out it makes me think I should be doing something productive or hanging out with a friend.

Enjoying the sun is productive.

I do a bit. I have family but could do with more friends. Yes, I can relate. Sundays can be a downer.

On the flip side at least you know what day it is

Sundays can be depressing. It's the day before going back to work, and that tension tends to bring people down. Sunday sickness is very common.

Also, nobody is really around to do anything on Sunday because they're all doing things with their families. Those of us without families, or with toxic families, can't relate.

Agreed. I'm not working yet so thats not an impact for me. Thanks.

I remember having problems on Sundays when I was younger. I was probably experiencing anxiety. Now, Sundays are one of the most difficult days as I anticipate the work week. I'm not sure what the answer is, but trying to occupy one's mind and trying to think about things one is looking forward to tends to help.

Yes. It's just a day I tell myself. Of course when I work, that will be its own stress. Poo.

I am prone. Why is it necessary to go out with someone?

Sunday scaries are real. My advice would be to maybe volunteer or join some sort of club on sundays where you can get to know people and you won’t be alone. It can be so awkward at first, but beats being alone and thinking about being alone too.

A personal example I had was joining golf lessons 1 day a week for 1 hour.

Glad you are healing slowly but surely. I don’t experience your Sunday blues . M-f the business and work days are worse for me until I get going.
