Anyone else get that Sunday night dread?

The weekend ends and my anxiety just spikes thinking about the work week ahead. Meetings, deadlines, emails, trying to be present for the family when I get home but just being completely drained. By Sunday afternoon I'm already in a bad mood and snappy with everyone. Been like this for years and I'm tired of it affecting my family.

Co-parenting and a work week starting is a lot to carry at once. I try to do something calming with the kids Sunday night, even just a walk or some quality time, helps settle my anxiety down before the week hits.

Yeah that Sunday dread is real, especially when you've got the custody switch coming up Monday for me. What helps is remembering Friday's coming and you'll get them back soon. Hangs in there.

I feel this hard. Sunday nights hit different when you're juggling work stress and trying to be present for the kids. The trick I've found is doing something with my hands Sunday evening, keeps my mind off the spiral.
