Me: What’s up with you? You seem off…
Her: Oh, don’t worry about it. It’s just the Sunday Scaries.

What Is Sunday Depression?
One survey found more than 80% ‘became progressively more anxious as their restful Sunday came to a close.’
Nearly two-thirds reported a restless night’s sleep Sunday night.
Psychologists call it “anticipatory anxiety.”
But the rest of us call it Sunday Depression or the Sunday Scaries.
The Real Cause of Sunday Depression
CNN: “It’s not because they don’t like their jobs…”
Like hell, it isn’t!
Do you know what people call anxiety about something they like? Excitement!
Do you know what people call anxiety about something that matters? Nothing, because they don’t bother complaining at all. It’s worth it.
