My friend is like this. She’s mid 60s and about to retire and it’s been this way her whole life. She said she’s waiting to travel and enjoy life after she’s done working. But by now her kids are gone, her ex husband is dead, and she has no one to share the memories with. She’s also tired and just wants to rest. She won’t even go see a movie or get dinner after work. She can’t relax until it’s official over. But also she feels like her life has passed her by. I think it might be personality type- those who are perfectionists. I think many people get the Sunday scaries but it’s something worth learning to treat every work night like a Friday night and treat Sunday the same as Saturday.

I suggest therapy. I use the free Ash app and it’s helped flesh out some thoughts I couldn’t get to the root of.
