How Severe Are Your Sunday Scaries?

Many people assume that dreading Monday is simply a normal part of adult life. However, persistent "Sunday Scaries" often reflect something deeper than disliking the start of a new workweek. Constantly thinking about work during weekends, struggling to mentally disconnect, or feeling that time off never truly restores your energy may be signs that your work is consuming more than just your schedule. Over time, this can reduce your sense of purpose, drain your motivation, and make weekends feel like a brief pause rather than genuine recovery. This assessment explores how your relationship with work affects your ability to rest, recharge, and enjoy life beyond your job, helping you better understand whether your career supports your overall wellbeing or quietly leaves you running on empty.
