Are your weekends worse?

[MissNMTX]

This has happened to me enough that I thought I'd post about it.  I'm wondering if the weekends or worse for littles without CGs or vice versa?

I've always said I don't need a daddy and that's true I don't, but that doesn't mean I wouldn't like to have one. This feeling seems noticibly worse on the weekends. During the week, I'm perfectly fine bills, gym, doctors, dentist, errands all fine without a daddy. Perfectly capable and independent.

Then the weekend comes, and I feel small, restless, needy, clingy. I can't seem to ground, myself. It's nuts. I've considered it's because I am so independent. Some sort of burnout, but that doesn't change my reality and I just find it both fascinating and strange.

Does anyone else experience anything similar? If so, how do you handle it?

I can relate a bit, I think the structure of my normal work week helps me a lot and I can take care of myself and be productive but can get kind of “lost” when I don’t have a clear schedule/routine on the weekend. I think it’s okay to not get a lot done and have break days to rest. Since I need some direction to get anything done, I sometimes make “to do lists” to guide my day. It doesn’t have to be about chores, sometimes I’ll put things like “play animal crossing” or “make a bracelet” or other things a like. Just helps me get started and actually do things I like.

Or do you feel like it is more specifically tied to ddlg stuff? Like you feel like you crave that and it’s missing on the weekend?

I think has a caregiver if I don't keep my self real busy does affect me a little more but usually i just take care of my nephews to fill the void

I get it. *nod*

The companionship, help with time management, going out with my person, sharing all the small and fun things, being able to lose myself in doing something to make him smile... I miss it. It makes me sad and that isn't helpful. 

During the week I'm so dang busy with work, school, sick dog, chores... there's not time to think of much else. Well, maybe think it'd be nice to have a lil help and encouragement.

I noticed that I used to only get sick on weekends or when I was on vacation. My theory was that I psyched myself up so much to get things done at work that without the need to be productive, sicknesses could get through my relaxed psyche induced barriers.

For myself, when I noticed that pattern, I took it as a sign that I needed to not be so busy or needed and I tried to divest myself of some of my responsibilities. It seemed to work, after decreasing my demands, I got sick whenever, but no more or less.

Maybe you are also psyching yourself up to get through the demands of your work week and adulting but on weekends you aren't psyched up as much and you just want and need to be cared for. Or maybe the demands of the work week just wear you out by the time the weekend comes.

Just my thoughts...I wish you well.

Things get a bit lonely for me when I go idle too. I mostly just want a daddy to talk to, while him being physically there would be wonderful...a good phone/text conversation would make all the difference.

I retired early, so every day is the “weekend” for me…. with that being said, I do notice or feel,  not having a little or middle right now, more on the weekends.
