I can relate, but I call it the Sunday depression. Most of what’s difficult about the transition between doing the things I want (or not) and doing the things I’m told to do. Also, picking up all the problems that I left behind when I left work on Friday.

How do I cope? Mostly just suck it up. Sometimes, I’ll email myself reminders or thoughts so that I don’t carry them around all weekend. Sometimes, I pre-make a bunch of food so that I can roll out of bed and walk out the door. Sometimes, I do have things to look forward to, like lunch with a coworker or something.
