...well, actually it is still sunday over here. i use to have the monday blues so bad. i never wanted to start the beginning of the week. this is because i wasn't doing what i wanted to be doing in life. it was just the start of the same old weekly rut. going to school to study something i really didn't want to be studying in the end, and working jobs that just made me sicker than i already was. now, it's not that bad. life has improved alot for me. do you find that you are doing what you want to be doing in life? if not, what is it that you want to be doing?

Hi,MoonGypsy,this is my first response.Maybe my English is not well,but i know your confuse.four years ago i graduated from postgraduate,everyone around me,including my parents,my friends,my teachers,all thought that i would find a better job, but finally,i chose a very normal work,just for my husband,that work didn't suit for me ,i was very miserable,and felt myself silly.i thought everyday was blue.so half years ago,i quitd that job,now i stay at home.i don't know what i want to be doing,i am confused

welcome! i am glad that i am your first response. don't worry, you did a great job in english. perhaps it's just that you are not working the job you wanted to be working at. some people like to work outside jobs away from the home, they just don't like what job they are doing. take this time now that you are home, to find out what it is that you want to be doing with your life.

Well I certainly never planned to be diagnozed with clinical depression and acute anxiety which stops me doing a lot of things that I used to enjoy doing certainly in my twenties. I do manage to get to the gym three times a week and now the weather has finally started to improve get out in the garden. What I would love to be doing is finding my own place to live, where I can escape my father and enjoy my privacy and independence that I loved before I lost it and my job, never thought I'd be trapped the way I was either. Why does wisdom come at the wrong end of life? I am hoping this is NOT my lot for the rest of my life and that one day I can get better and live a more fulfilling and rich life.

Monday is alright with me. I work in retail so, sometimes I have Monday off. For past year my life has been improved too. But I do really want to get off retail world. It's holiday long hours every year that really get me. If money isn't the problem I would love to travel visiting other places :)

Monday blues sucks! I hear everyone always complain about mondays. I honestly think its how you look at it. If you see it negatively, that's how you're going to feel about it. I think doing what you want to and what you dont want to in life can effect how you feel, but as an everyday thing, not just a monday thing. So people should be doing what makes them happy to begin with. Why settle for something you're not happy doing? I don't live like that. I do what i have to by doing what i love and everything works out.

I love mondays . I love going to school before when I'm still studying. Right now i stopped studying. I enjoy studying but now i'm already a mom. I find it hard but i love my son, so maybe i'm doing what i love.

on Sunday nights, i sort of dread Mondays just because we are able to rest on Sundays and the work week is extremely busy for both hubby and i. i do have to say i like my job and love the people i work with but it is just the thought of having to get up early, pack lunches, figure out something to wear, etc.

The weekends and Mondays don't mean much to me because I work in retail and my days off are always changing. I actually have today off which is the first Monday I've had off in more than 4 months. So my days off feel like a Saturday and the days I work are more like Mondays lol. I'm hoping that once I finish school I'll be able to do a job that really interests me and I won't always dread work. Until then, I continue on in retail...

I just do those things in my life that will give me some gain in the future so that i can make my future bright. I'm also a student and my monday is also so boring and tiresome but i have to do that because it will give me better results in the near future. Hope you understand. The person who succed in life is that who do everything happily...

When I read your discussion, I remember when I still work in a motorcycle dealer one year ago. I also feel this, because I never love work at that company, because I have to leave my daughter that still too young, but I have to do it for money. I am really hate with Monday, I am really bore for work. Currently, I make money online from home and live with my daughter. I enjoy my job now. I hope one day you will find the job that make you excited.
