There is tension and intensity starting from Sunday, followed by Monday, the first working day of the week. They are not wrong, in fact, with the rush of completing the work that has accumulated throughout the week

So, what is this Monday syndrome? Anxiety that starts from the evening on Sunday, and even from Saturday for some people, the sadness of the day off that went unnoticed, the rush of the new week and the tiredness of the previous week's accumulated work, the inability to fully rest, and the stress that comes with
We can say that it is a state of unrest. On the following first day of work,
the tension and uneasiness that comes with unfinished work and fatigue are reflected in the work.
If we examine it starting from Freud's definition of depression, it means "a loved, valued
"The loss of the object is depression." The object mentioned here is Sunday, the day of rest. From this
perspective, the situation called Monday syndrome is actually a short-term and recurring state of depression.
When we look at the research, the first research was conducted with 202 people; When asked which day they felt restless and unhappy, the common answer was Monday. Later, in a study conducted with 350 people, researchers called the people included in the study at the same time every day of the week. While their reactions are the same, when they ask on the weekend, the only thing that comes to mind is the tension they experienced on Monday. So why is it that every day
is the same, but only Monday is remembered?
The first perspective is the cognitive part, that is, the part related to learning; "I T-shirts with the words "hate Monday
" and the memes we wrote at the beginning of our article actually teach us about Monday syndrome
. You did Monday activities and affirmations
to get rid of the cognitive part, but are you still experiencing tension on Sunday and Monday in a way that you don't understand? Here we come to the crucial point!!! You may have heard that depression is hereditary. In addition, the tensions experienced on Mondays create traumas
in people at the micro level, and if some people have experienced major events on that day, they create traumas
at the macro level. These traumas are transmitted from generation to generation as a hereditary inheritance.
For example, a pregnant and working woman learned about Monday syndrome at a cognitive level
or developed Monday syndrome due to an event she experienced on Monday. There is a very high probability that it will be inherited by the newborn child. Another situation that may have been inherited
from our ancestors is the traumas that our ancestors, who had their week off on Fridays, may have experienced and inherited
from us when their week off was changed to Mondays?
