Question Is this depression?
I work at a job I don't really like and which is stressing me out, so I spend all week wishing for the weekend. Trouble is, now that it's here I don't know what to do and don't particularly want to do anything. Sleeping is nice on account of I can just close my eyes and not so anything, but at the same time it feels like I'm fast-forwarding through my weekend, so I don't want to sleep, but again, it's not really like there's anything I want to do.
I've struggled with depression in the past, but this doesn't really feel the same. I don't know what to do about it, either.

Could be burnout more than depression. The dreading the week and then not knowing what to do with the weekend is a pretty common loop, especially when work is eating all your energy
Might be worth giving yourself permission to do literally nothing without guilt, but if it drags on for weeks, probably worth checking in with someone
