"Sunday scaries" might be fairly modern lingo — the first Urban Dictionary entry for the term Sunday scaries dates to 2009. But the anxious, jittery (bồn chồn lo sợ) feeling that comes up on Sundays before the week begins isn't anything new or unusual.

Even when we love our jobs, many of us face the ‘sunday scaries’ every week. That dread of work is only getting worse, as Gallup reports that American workers are among the most stressed-out in the world in their State of the Global Workplace report. That dread of the work week is driven by two factors: our work environment itself and whether we are getting what we need on the weekends.

For the last five years, many Sunday scaries have been staved off by one thing: "Insecure." The hit HBO show, chronicling the lives of Issa Dee, played by star and creator Issa Rae, and her friends has become something of a television phenomenon. For hours on Sunday evening, as the show runs, Twitter is filled with hot takes and reactions to plotlines, jokes and outfits. The next day, websites buzz with recaps -- everyone from podcasters to your favorite group chat picks apart the episode's events, and even Michelle Obama keeps up with the shenanigans. (HBO and CNN are both part of WarnerMedia.) And the fanbase is notoriously dedicated. Actor Jay Ellis, who plays Lawrence, Issa's polarizing on-again off-again love interest, told Essence in 2018 that fans have cursed him out, chased him down and physically punched him over the show's events.
