Why do I feel so frustrated and depressed on weekends?

[Anonymous]

But when I get to work I feel happy, calm and refreshed

It seems like it should be just the opposite.
The weekend are "me"" time, you can do what you want or nothing at all.
Are you getting out and doing things, or just sitting around.
Maybe find an activity to share with friends, or possibly some volunteer work and possibly that will a reason to feel better.
Your post doesn't say that you have a relationship with someone, but since you don't mention anything about that, I'm wondering if that could be part of it.
You see your friends, workmates going out or all the plans that they are making, and you don't have anyone.
Remember, at one or more times in their lives they didn't have anyone either, or you won't find that person sitting around the house if that is the case.
So, get up, get dressed, put a smile on your face and find something that you are interested in doing and get out of the house.

Exerting yourself physically or mentally can release endorphins and make you feel good about yourself. Maybe if you find something to do in your free time you enjoy can help?

If you're like me holidays and weekends are my most depressing times because it's when I feel the loneliest, I've never cared for Christmas but it's one of my worst days because I get it thrown in my face how alone I am by billboards, tv, news, radio, commercials, streamers online, websites, video game events. Valentine's is another one. An weekends are just mini versions of those, people are going out doing things together, family's go and have fun. I donate gifts for children during Christmas and volunteer at a soup kitchen every year, it's the closest life let's me get to other people without hearing anyone comment about my face, plus all I do is save money because I have nothing or no one to spend it on.

Sorry for going on a awkward side story. So maybe you're depressed on weekends because it's the loneliest time for you.

Probably because work keeps you busy enough that you can't concentrate on your depression. But due having free time on the weekend your depression to take over your mind set. I would look look into getting some help to work on your depression. That way the weekends are more manageable and you don't fall into the trap that is keeping yourself extremely busy to avoid it. I did that for a while and didn't realize it tell I got help.

Read this article. Hope it helps.

It sounds like work is about the only place where you feel good and happy. Outside of work I think you feel depressed and distressed that you don't have much to do and nobody to be with. I will repeat what I said before I think you need to see a professional for this preferably a psychologist for diagnosis.

I can't give you a proper answer because I know absolutely nothing what you're doing in your weekend, your friends, private and family life. If you opened up, we would've helped you.

But I hope you are doing well overall

Could be you're too much in your head when you got too much free time. I used to get depressed every Sunday night. And I know it was because of the impending workweek. But I didn't feel that way when I was at work. But overall I was dissatisfied with my job. So I'm certain that was it. Since I retired I no longer feel this.

Maybe you just need to go to a good church and get some edifying interaction with some good people. It might make you feel that you are something other than a bump on a log.

What do you do on weekends? Whom do you visit with? It might be because you're doing something at work that's engaging and fulfilling, but not when you're off the clock.

[Telekinetic-Potato]

What do you do during the weekend? What would you like to be doing?

[Asker]

I would like to go out more with friends but I don’t have many.

[EmmaMary]

It's pretty obvious that you have nothing to occupy your mind whilst being home.

[Asker]

Well done Einstein.

[YHL6965]

What if you feel unfulfilled in your life and, since you are not as busy on the weekends, that sort of "existential dread" and unfulfillment pops up so it fills you with frustration and hopelessness?

[scooogy]

I feel the same since in private life there seems way less achievable due to changes in society. God knows what my ex-crush hoped to gain from friendships with benefits, not to mention with someone like me.

[lilyanony1]

Maybe you need a routine.. That works for some people

[Luopio27]

I feel that because I have nothing more than movies to keep me company at holidays. I see my friends few times a year. At work there are things to do, people to see and so on.

[WhitneySnow]

Maybe you’re bored cause you have no social life?

[Noodle_fan]

because you love your job

or

u get used to be busy everyday , and it make you feel different when u just sit at home

[Aakash_Hangargi]

You need a boy friend go get one at your nearest store 😆

[Imsmurter1]

I like work too. For the weekends I usually work out and exercise as it fills up a lot of time and keeps me healthy.

[westend12]

I think keeping busy is really good for the mind, as long as you aren't stressed of course. Having tasks to do feels amazing

[Iron_Man]

Probably because you’re accomplishing something

[kareka]

Who do you live with?
I think u try to be out all time and u like ur work and ur work-friends

[Anonymous]

You don’t have any (fun) friends or companions, do you?

[BigschlongEnergy]

Having money 💴 feels good

[boobliker]

do you cum by your self at weekends or friend?
