Anticipation Anxiety

I have work tomorrow and I'm getting anticipation anxiety to go. I do like my job and it doesn't have anything to do with that. It's more like weekend is ending, I wish I had more time, I don't want to be responsible, I'm nervous to look at my email and see a bunch of work that needs to be done. It's more about the looming feeling of having something I must do. Do any of you feel that way or know how to describe it better? I feel like it starts at 5pm and just builds like a horrible countdown until I have to fall asleep. I'm having a hard time and I don't know why I feel like this or how to stop.

believe it or not, there is a name for this. It is called “Sunday scaries” and a lot of people suffer from this regularly. Try to schedule in something to treat yourself during this time each week so you can avoid this feeling, taking a bath and making sure I have clean sheets has helped me immensely
