How do I stop living for the weekend?
You don't have to quit anything. Start small: make one piece of Monday yours, something you look forward to, and see what changes.
What helps against the Sunday scaries?
Having one small thing on Monday that belongs to you can make Sunday night feel lighter. What that is, is your call.
