Simple, I work 7 days a week
Start a masters thesis. Work feels like a nice break from it.
Drugs
specifically cannabis.
I can't fear Monday if I never know what day it is!
Perpetually Thursvember eleventeenth.
I don’t I just go
I’ve been on vacation since Christmas and I have been this relaxed and happy in years
My job has been killing me the last couple years, but I just interviewed for a new job that sounds perfect for me (and I them) and I really hope I get it!
Edit: I don’t actually have an answer to your question, but I get this feeling every week. The only thing that really helped was antidepressants which toned down my anxiety so at least I can enjoy Sunday’s without constantly thinking about work.
Good luck with the potential job!
Drugs, or you know, getting a job you don't hate with ever fiber in your body
Avoiding the Monday feel is one of the two benefits of a dynamic schedule. The other is running errands, like going to the laundromat or doing grocery shopping, on a weekday.
Last time you asked for help, folks suggested therapy. Have you looked into any of the local free options? My offer of looking for you is still on the table, just let me know what state/province etc!
No. And I'm not American
I think I found the real problem. You won't get strong of you don't lift, you won't get fast if you don't run, and you won't fix your head if you aren't willing to put in effort.
I don't think it's healthy to contort your mind to accept and enjoy being a slave
Agreed, however gainful employment is not slavery. There's suffering in every human being alive, you aren't a slave because you have mental health issues.

Okay, if you're not American odds are much better there's helpful services! If you give me a province/region/country, I'll happily look into what mental health services are available.
I won’t tell you to “just change jobs”. I know it’s not that simple.
But I will say that I have a job in a line of work I genuinely enjoy, so I look forward to Mondays.
Massive anxiety
EDIT: Misread the question. The answer is that I don't.
Quit.
Figure out how you can enjoy your weekend!l more.
