I just watch Friends and i dont understand this sentence

(Rachel enters from her room.)
Rachel: Has anybody seen my engagement ring?
Phoebe: Yeah, it’s beautiful.
Rachel: Oh God, oh God, oh God oh God oh God oh God… (Starts to look under the couch cushions.)
Phoebe: No, look, don’t touch that!
Rachel: Oh, like I wasn’t dreading tomorrow enough, having to give it back to him… ‘Hi Barry! Remember me? I’m the girl in the veil who stomped on your heart in front of your entire family!’ Oh God and now I’m gonna have to return the ring, without the ring, which makes it so much harder…

When you “dread” something, you don’t want to do it/hear it/see it etc.

In other words, Rachel already did not like tomorrow (what she has to do tomorrow) and now something new has made tomorrow worse.

Example:
I dread going to school = “I really do not like going to school” OR “I never want to go to school”
I already dread going to school and now I am the new student with no friends = I already do not like school. And now I am new so I have no friends. (And now I like it less because I have no friends)
