I have never felt so sad in my life. Why do I feel this way?

Sometimes feelings overgrow us. It is normal to feel that way and we should try to find ways to feel better. Reaching out is a great way to start. Always remember, nothing lasts forever. The bad things will eventually be part of the past. Stay strong.

A lot of times sadness can have many underlying cause to it. Sometimes it so happens that we tend to focus so much on all the aspects of sadness that we forget the tiny bit that's actually causing it. If we look deep within ourselves, ask ourselves probing questions and accept the honest answers with dignity, then we might reach the source of our sadness. We can then heal ourselves, and that's how the journey of healing ourselves and caring for our mental well being begins.

Usually it’s easy to feel super sad when we focus on the current situation rather than focusing on the positive we get out of our current situation. It’s easy to look at ourselves and say that we are unhappy but when you look at a positive outlook to the negative you are having, you can see a way to be happy. Another thing lots of people focus on when their said a lot of times is feeling sorry for themselves. And it’s good to be sorry for yourself sometimes, to an extent, but you shouldn’t let that get the best of you and make your situation what is is.

I feel sad because my sister died.It broke my heart when i found out and i have been crying because i miss her so much every day wishing she was still alive.I love her so much and no one understands how i feel and think i'm attention seeking for being depressed or self harming.I just wish i could find someone to talk to who actually understands and knows how i feel.The people who are suppose to understand don't and just shout at me for self harming or being depressed,and call my poetry rubbish when i explain how i feel through words.

Had anything very sad happened in your life recently? Did your best friend, your loved one, spouse, parent pass away? Have you got severely ill, disabled, or did it happen to someone who you love? Did you lose your favourite job, didn't pass the study, being in horrific accident? It is normal to be sad and grieve in these circumstances. You can be very sad also in other circumstances where you feel loss of something important to you - you can't get promotion, you aren't accepted to university, your friend rejects becoming your girlfriend. Also in these situations it is normal to be sad and grieve. Sometimes it is hard to find out reason of being sad. Sometimes something is important for our subconscious mind regardless if we disregard it in our conscious mind.

it depends on whether you're feeling sad because of something or was it just a feeling out of the blue. perhaps you could also be at home alone and therefore starting to think about more negative thoughts, contributing to the feeling of sadness that you're feeling. but feeling extreme sadness isn't the best feeling to feel - you're perhaps really confused as well. but it's important that you try to figure out what's the stem of this sadness i.e. what's the contributing factor, what are you exactly sad about and slowly work towards resolving it! please engage a listener to hear you out if you're willing. all the best!

Depression and low mood have numerous causes and there is not often one experience or situation that brings it on, often an accumulation of internal and environmental issues over time. There is not a one size fits all approach it is a very individual experience. I think in order to determine this is important to ask ourselves, where are my needs not being met? What people or situations am I exposed to that are not making me feel good? Do I have toxic people in my life? Is the life I'm living now in line with my hopes and expectations? Asking these questions will likely give some clues as to why you are feeling the way you are and may point you in the right direction of where you need to go from here.

We often feel this way because we have been tackling something stressful, and this ball of sadness hits after all of your other tactic systems fail. After you lose hope, and when you feel you can't get over this wave that keeps crashing under you. This feeling is like taking the breath away from you, and you just can't get enough air to get yourself back to the surface. The constant feeling of not being good enough. You feel this way because you don't know how else to react to whats making you, stressed, sad, hurt. Its depression. And it hits you harder than a boxer in competition. But you have to get back up, you need to fight to get that second breath of air. Until you are afloat above the ocean waters, or you hear the bells of victory.

There doesn't need to be an exact reason for feeling sad, or happy. It can be rough, and discouraging, I know, but what goes down must come up, that is how the universe goes. Someday, it will be better, if only a little, I can promise you that. At least you will never have to do today again, and I hope that that can be enough. I believe in you, and I know that it will get better for you. Try finding little things that bring you joy, like painting, or playing with a pet, or exercisimg, and you'll get through this.

If you have felt sad for more than 2 weeks, you may be suffering from depression. Depression is closely linked to negative thoughts about yourself, past experiences, and a lack of hope for the future. Opening up to someone about how you are feeling can be tough, especially when depression can make us feel like a burden on those around us. However, talking to someone can help you feel less depressed. 7 cups is full of ways to gain support. You can start a 1 to 1 chat or read through some self help guides to identify ways you can feel less depressed.

Of course, nobody can answer this question but you. You are in charge of your feelings and you know what kind of process has led you to feel this sad. Good news: you're on the right track to discover the truth. I can tell you this because you're asking yourself "why" and by doing this you'll be able to discover the shadiest parts of your own self. Being sad can be the result of previous actions (both done or received), can be the sign you've forced yourself into a career or a path that doesn't suit you, can be your chance to change.

You may be experiencing a depressive episode-please consider contacting a counselor or therapist. If you can, take a step back from daily life (explain to an employer or profsser(s) that an urgent personal matter has arisen and it is necessary to take some time off) and assess what may be causing this. A major source of depression is burn out. Burn out occurs when energy cost far exceeds its reward (for an example, an unsatisfactory job or spending a long time working hard in school without having reached graduation). Another major source is people and relationships. Consider who might be the source. If it's a partner, consider having a conversation with them to clear the air or seeing a couples counselor. If it's a family member or a coworker, try to distance yourself from them. And as always, remember to take time to take care of your mind and body by eating well, getting some fresh air (even just opening a window to release stagnant air) and setting aside time for things that make you happy.

Only you have the answers to why you are feeling sad. Have you taken a moment to breathe and evaluate what is happening around you to make you feel that type of emotion? Have you tried isolating the problem before you determine the why or a solution? Determining the why can always help alleviate some of these feelings. Once you find out the why the solution is easoer to determine how to fix the emotion as it can be several different causes with all different solutions. But sleep might fix the emotion of sadness as well. Have you tried these things yet?

There are times when we feel things and we can't pinpoint the reason why. It's not uncommon for us to feel sad out of nowhere. Based on my experience, I have found that these periods of melancholy and depression usually stem from weeks or months of having a monotonous lifestyle and not being able to take a step back and breathe. When our lives are just cycles of waking up, working, and sleeping, it's hard to feel any semblance of happiness. This sadness may also come from limited social interaction, a lack of meaningful relationships with others or a particular event that has caused extreme grief or regret.

Sometimes sadness stems from an situation, or sometimes it shows up suddenly with no cause. When sadness overwhelms me, I allow myself time to experience it. I allow myself to cry and listen to music. Or I paint to express myself. Sometimes it isn't always easy to pin point why you started to feel sad, something I like to do to help me figure it out is back track my thoughts. It usually goes like this: "why am i sad?' "i don't know, I don't feel like leaving my house" "why are you bottled up at home" "well because I feel like no one cares" "why do you feel like no one cares" "because everytime i make an effort to explain myself it never gets heard" SO, I pinpointed that I am sad because I feel misunderstood. It usually works for me, but sometimes it doesn't always work because I get really good at repressing my true feelings. When that becomes the case, I usually need someone I trust to give me an outsider perspective. I hope this helped.

Things may not be turning out the way you had hoped for. There are times when everyone feels sad or depressed. It's not your fault you feel that way. There must be something going on that's affecting you negatively. Find someone you can rely on and feel free to release all your stress and sadness. Sometimes, the best way to handle this situation is to talk to others. You'll soon get over this hard time and find yourself happy once again. It just takes time to overcome the feeling of sadness, especially if you're facing a very difficult situation.

Sometimes something sad happens that has a overall effect on you. Sometimes it's just a general feeling. I want to encourage you to be happier. This is what I do, and it really did help me and now I can say that there hasn't been one day in the past few months where I. could say I'm sad or today was a bad day. Happiness only lasts for so long. There's always going to be ups and downs in our life, but we can't let things like that stop us. Go to sleep each night saying I was happy today and I'm going to continue being happy. It will, work keep trying, and remember each day gets easier. Feel free to send me a personal request :).

Each time when we come to new problems that chips our self esteem , we do feel like we've never been through such moments , to overcome such problems we have to understand the situation that not everything's in our control , we can't control someone's thoughts/destiny / fate/ mindset . We are only capable of controlling ourselves yet majority of people try the opposite, It's alright to accept the truth absorb it and think of what next , I have been a fan of Doing exercises, sports and games specialy when we encounter some of worst experiences of our life !

Different thoughts, events, experiences and actions can make people feel this way. First know that you are not alonw and that most people feel this way at some point in their lives. It's important to know that these tough times will pass. Tough people last, not tough times. Whatever you are going through take the time to grieve. It's part of the healing process. Talk to people about what's making you feel this way. It's better to get it out of your mind and off of your chest rather than to hold it in. The only thing left is to start picking up the pieces and start moving forward again.

First of all I am so sorry you are feeling this way. Maybe there are some internal triggers that are causing you to feel this way. Try focussing on your thoughts and find which one of them makes you feel better and which one of them makes you feel worse. Also consider talking to a listener to vent out your feelings and visiting a therapist in case you feel you need one. :D Sometimes there are some external triggers as well- it could be academic or financial burdens, work stress, family issues, relationship issues, anything!- try and identify them. :D

Before all it is important to accept the fact that extreme sadness happens to everybody at some points in life. Same as any other emotion or state of mind and it is normal to some extent. By that I mean the moment when it starts to chronically sabotage us and affect the important aspects of our lives. Then we should consider taking a break where we could give ourselves space and time to dive into ourselves to discover and reflect the reason Why. Why do we feel certain way, what does that emotion wants to tell us. Clearly we are not happy, we are so sad, are we missing something, do we need to change something, what is it that is bothering us? Although other person may also reflect, no one can tell us better but us. Our emotions manifest there where our mind and our body meet so they represent bodies reaction to mind (thoughts) or mind`s reflection in the body.

There are numerous reasons that could have contributed to this feeling such as repressed emotions that you couldn't process for so long or didn't feel safe enough to experience that you're finally feeling it all. Or perhaps the heaviness of a situation is finally hitting you and you're feeling again. Another reason could be that perhaps you have been so overwhelmed for so long that the emotions are hitting hard. Another factor that contributes is our depression that sneaks up on us. You're allowed to feel the way you do, love. But you're also allowed to talk about it and seek help to process these emotions

Sadness is an emotion. Emotions are produced from our thoughts. One way to control our emotions is to control our thoughts. It all starts from our mind. We all must have read that statement many times, "A man is a product of his own thoughts". We keep experiencing that, but often times we miss to recognize that in action. Many even call it the power of positive thinking and all, but even recent scientific studies show that our way of thinking has direct effect on our genes. If you keep focusing on the 'sad' emotion, you will never be able to get over it. Think of yourself in the future. Don't wait for your dreams to become a reality, start living like they already are a reality, and they will become real. In the end, all I want to say is, "It will be, what you 'will' it to be. Hope it helps.

There are many potential reasons. It could be due to chemical imbalances in your brain, which is possible but unlikely. Perhaps a significantly negative event has happened to you, and it is normal to feel very sad. If you feel sad and yet nothing significantly negative happened to you, you might be viewing the world and yourself in a negative way. For example, if you were meant to meet your friend at 10am and they haven't arrived yet, you may think "He forgot about me. I'm worthless. He doesn't like me. He doesn't care about me. I am a loser." These negative thoughts are automatic, and can often be unrealistic. You can challenge them by finding evidence that supports or refutes your thoughts. You might also be sad because you aren't meeting standards you or society has set for you. Perhaps you hate yourself, and/or you beat yourself up constantly.

Sometimes, there is no specific reason for feeling sad. While growing up there is an unbalance of hormones which makes us sadder than usual and sometimes it could just be a mental health issue. Nevermind which one it is, but they are both equally as important. If it gets worse, talk to someone, although it may not seem like it right now, there is a light that is waiting for you to take and hold it close. Believe that there is a better future for you. You can get help if you want it and need it. You are loved.
