Sometimes, and I'm not very good at opening up about it either. I tend to just ride it out. Doing something that genuinely makes you happy helps, but when you're feeling low, motivation is an issue. I just have to give myself a kick up the arse and carry on.
Sending virtual hug 🫂 |

Totally do feel like that at times pal, usually just comes out of nowhere.
I usually try to just get through it by going for a long walk, music or an early night.
Hope you feel better in yourself soon 👊 |

Do you ever just feel sad? Can’t quite put your finger on the reason? But there’s that feeling that you can’t shift??

Very often pal, not ideal but when it really hits, I put my headphones on full blast music so loud I cant actually think and go for a long walk. I usually find after an hour or so the worst of it has subsided
I hope you get to feeling better bud, I really do |

I tend to embrace days like that. Wallow in sad music for a bit, have a bit of a cry if feeling particularly sad. But those days are very few and far between these days.
There’s nothing wrong with embracing the sadness. You don’t fight off happiness so why fight off sadness. Just recognise if it starts to become problematic. |

Yup daily, it's part of depression .
My day consists of a constant feeling of dread and the expectations that something terrible is about to happen, going through every catastrophic event I can imagine, feeling worthless and unimportant, lack of self esteem and constant feelings of guilt.
Overthinking everything and unable to rest then on the occasional day I can sleep my dreams are usually death and sickness.
Yup I sympathise |

This year has probably been one of the worst have had with various things and have struggled with being sad/down at random times, but hide behind the smile, struggle open up with anyone even close family. |

Pretty much how I've been feeling for the past month, but starting to feel a bit more myself the last few days.
Unfortunately, my hormones have a habit of making me irrationally sad and I can find it more difficult to regulate my emotions. I ride it out and it usually levels off. |

"This might sound very silly, but when I feel like that it's usually fatigue or boredom. It took me until well into adulthood to realise that I often confused boredom with despair."
This rings true  |

I call it melancholy, it's like a weird mix of sadness and apathy |
