Sunday Night Sad

whole thread otm tho

For some reason I get this worse during the summer. If I'm not going out anywhere it's "oh where's all the fun and good times?". If I am out somewhere, there's that nagging feeling that I should be doing something productive. But then if I am at home, and it's too hot to work on personal projects, I feel totally apathetic.

A precursor for SNS is waking up with a start on Sunday morning and thinking 'oh shit I'm late for work' before realising that it's Sunday. It's happened to me two weeks in a row now.

I seem to have this worse when the weather is nice.

Like right now.

Damn you, Sunday Sads.

Sunday night sunsets are awful, so depressing

WHO ELSE DOESN’T FEEL GREAT

I started drinking too early today,and then I drank too much and still don't feel like I will sleep tonight, when I break the "not before 6" rule my functional alco routine completely falls to pieces!

i don't feel great

good vibes homies

yesterday i read over two-hundred pages, and today was just weird

i have been bummed

i also went into the forest

i should have read two hundred pages

it's not hard to do when you're reading knausgaard. my struggle is easy as shit to read

yeah probably easier reading than political sociology of ussr but 200 pages is better than 0 by any measure

heh

Sad tonight cos my favorite radio show is having it's last show ever.

if that is in reference to trís' college radio show then i quite agree

vraiment un jour tríste

No, it's the final show of Jet Lag on WRAS 88.5 FM, but will pour one out for all radio shows ending tonight.

I'm havin the blues tonight tho often that's related to having to go back to work tomorrow (which I don't hate at all, but who wouldn't 'never work' if they could?).

fighting the urge to go out and hang with people versus just chillin' cos I have a whole week ahead of activities ahead

imho Sunday is the best day of the week to lock yourself in your room and do whatever it takes to distract yourself from thoughts of death and dread and personal failure (books/internet/food/sleep/music are all suitable activities) though you might find yourself running out of ideas around dinnertime, and you'll find that you've napped too much during the day to go to bed early in the evening, so you'll end up staying up until 2am and showing up for work half-asleep on Monday morning. that said, it's still one of the better days of the week.

:D

half considered a caracas.jpg thread the other week but the gis was (perhaps unsurprisingly) basic and lacking in poetic renderings of that city

resorting to ilx maracas tonight

not sure whether to post on dreaded birthday/ fear of regret/ i’m drunk threads

but it’s sunday night sad so

this whole weekend just brutal. maybe sparked by combo of recent bday (numbed through) & other recent discovery/ realization, anyway consumed with acute [litany of bad feelings]

physically nauseous

don’t want to discuss but maybe writing this down somewhere at least virtually to another will help me to get rid of this god-awful feeling

aw, I hope you'll wake up feeling less awful tomorrow. in my experience the anticipation of a dreaded birthday is much more excruciating than the aftermath, but as I'm not even 30 yet, my reference points are necessarily limited. as for your other irl problems, idk. glutting oneself on bread and circuses (and ilx) probably isn't the most effective remedy in the long run, but I'll let you know if I ever come up with something better.

A good tip is to GET CREATIVE. Draw or record music or write. I've been listening to my favorite T. Rex LP and making art and it has been great. I am so in the zone my mind doesn't begin to drift towards melancholy.

all too true

but thx for maracas anyway :..)

It is awfully easy to be hard-boiled about everything in the daytime, but at night it is another thing.

A good tip is to GET CREATIVE.

absolutely agree, but sometimes suffocating self in the way

do feel less awful now though (ilx maracas, did some photo editing, der blaue engel on tv, & after days angst abates, at least temporarily)

i had a question about what do you do to use the time satisfyingly rather than sit like a rabbit staring into the headlights of monday morning but i see people have thought about that just the other week

Mubi, YouTube, books, lrb, one's friends' amazing facebook photographs ime

too restless and fidgety to settle down to something i think

Sunday nights seem like Alice Munro nights.
But, they still make me wanna die. I think I'll hang with my mom.

This is the big one but

what a bloody waste of 16 days, eh

spent half of them sick just to spice it up

I realise I should be grateful to have had so many days off but yes, yes I am feeling this very much

I have some work I promised someone "by Christmas" and have spent the past 10 days going "well at least I could try to do it before the first Monday in Jan" and guess what I haven't done too

blah

PS I don't remember what that work was but I probably still haven't done it

The person who had been expecting the work probably hasn't remembered either. I've had that happen a few times - procrastinated on doing something, worried the whole time that the person who requested the work will ask at any minute when it's going to be completed, then completed it in a rush only to find that the other person has completely forgotten about it.

hugs

I need a new strategy for avoiding this.

Just come back from a really nice 4 hour walk, and the dread hits me as soon as I'm back home.

Walks, trips to places, watching TV, playing videogames, eating - all nice distractions but when they're done I go back to feeling the SNS again almost right away.

A week and a bit of this shite to go, and then I'm freeeeeeeeee again. I mean, unemployed again.

― an office job is as secure as a Weetabix padlock (snoball), Sunday, April 27, 2014 12:14 PM (two years ago)

^^^ this temp gig got extended, then eventually made permanent. I was thinking tonight about how many of my colleagues treated me like garbage when it seemed like I wouldn't be there for more than three months, only to two-facedly start acting nice when it became clear that I was going to be around permanently. Three years and I'm done with this place, particularly after this stupid-o Friday just past where the desks got replaced because the managers are trying to fit more people into the office. Got this feeling that they aren't telling us everything and that we're going to get screwed over. Need to get a new job but basically I'd be doing exactly the same thing somewhere else in more or less the same BS conditions.

Actually being unemployed again almost sounds appealing, apart from the lack of money and the increased time spent dealing with my relatives.

half term so no work tomorrow and the difference is palpable, tho i can still feel SNS on the fringes out there. i wish peace and freedom from this shit to all of you suffering - when the revolution comes every night will be Friday night

Going out for Indian food has become a standard prophylactic/treatment for SNS.
