The article explores the phenomenon known as the "Sunday scaries," which refers to the feelings of anxiety and sadness many people experience as the weekend comes to an end. According to Susanne Cooperman, a neuropsychologist, these feelings can stem from various sources, such as stress about upcoming work or difficulty disengaging from work responsibilities. When these emotions begin affecting daily functioning, such as focus and sleep, it may be time to seek help. Strategies like mindfulness meditation can be beneficial in managing these feelings and staying present.
The Sunday scaries are common feelings of dread over returning to work, manifesting as anxiety or sadness that typically begin on Sunday afternoon.
Anticipatory anxiety is the dread of the upcoming work week, while anhedonia reflects a loss of enjoyment, compounding the stress of the Sunday scaries.
