If you thought that the feeling of loneliness and boredom on the weekend only happens to you without any explanation, then let us explain to you how normal this is, according to psychologists.
3 reasons why it happens
1. There is a lack of structure on weekends because usually during the week, the day is structured, you have a kind of small plan of what you will do at work and how many hours, whether you will meet someone after work or not. Being on the move from task to task, from place to place, the days of the week are full of activities even if you do not like the work you do, at least you are engaged. On the weekends, especially if you are stressed, upset or depressed, you usually do not want to plan any activities and this can make you feel more depressed than on weekdays.
2. There is a lack of social interaction because exactly when you are upset or depressed you need even more, but you are not meeting anyone. Wanting to do what you feel most comfortable with is actually isolating you more.
3. Lack of self-esteem also affects because you have the approach to compare yourself to others, especially on weekends when you have more time to look at other people's social media posts who may have come out and look happy.
2 ways to feel better
1. Make a plan for the weekend, which you can follow in order to have some kind of excitement for the days to come. Adding an activity every morning and an activity every afternoon will help you improve your mood. What is most advised depending on your emotional state, is to do every hour something different from what you are used to doing, e.g. changing the store where you buy groceries though seemingly something small, but still helps.
2. Make plans for social interaction, meet old friends, go out with colleagues and get to know each other even better outside of the daily work environment. You may like the idea of ??staying home, alone, in your comfort zone, but in fact the more you are surrounded by good people when you feel worse, the easier it will be for you to get through psychologically difficult situations.
