Sad?

yes l do feel very sad sometimes l find that throwing my self in to work or doing some thing that will take your mind of feeling sad althought this may sound a bit silly but l find that it really dose work some years ago l had depression and the best way l found was as l have said also what you said it dose sound that it is depression just keep busy if it is any worse you should go and see your doctor. but from what you are saying it sounds as though it is a mild so just your mind occupied and you should fell better

i think we all get like that everyonce in a while. the key is not to allow it to take over you. and living in the moment is a great way not to allow that sadness or even depression take over your moments, hours and days. I was very depressed as a child, teenager and young adult. through life experinces and research, i have learned to only allow those moments to be just that moments. it takes practice to get out of that state of mind. but yeah i think we all have those moments of sadness. that just makes us all human my wonderful friend

I usually have a reason for feeling sad, mainly Mr Croc. He often has times when he doesn't know why he's sad and it's very difficult to know how to cheer him up. He usually goes to his computer and plays games or he sleeps. There are times I wish I could get into is head and turn off the depression. If you feel sad you can always avoid me.

I think everyone gets like that at least occasionally. I usually just try to think of good things. I am fortunate to have my babies so I will cuddle them or, if they are not here, I will look at the beautiful pictures of them. The big one knows if I am sad so he will just come straight over and give me a cuddle. Otherwise I go for walks and things. Although that sometimes makes me more sad if I am by myself!

Yes I do and I get this quite a lot, I often think that really I need to pay a visit to the doctor but I am not one for going to them I like to deal with things myself. I find it hard to get myself out of it when I am in one so I do not really have anything that I do to get myself out of it. I just wait for it to go on its own!

I do a lot. I have depression, but I hate taking pills for it, so I just have to deal with it and so whenever it hits me I just try to get out of the house and keep busy. If you are in front of a lot of people you probably wont want them to see that you are sad (at least Idont) and so you will act happy ie. smiling, laughing, etc. and doing these things will actually help make you happy. Another thing that I do is yoga. I absolutely love yoga. It helps relieve the physical symptoms of depression and stress and also helps to relax you. I also like to write whenever I am feeling down, especially poetry. It really helps to write what you are feeling because it kinda lets you get it off your chest and puts things into perspective. Anyways, I hope that this helps.

Wow. I'm very sorry to hear of your depression, p1kef1sh. I'm not sure if what happens to me at times is 'true depression,' or just the result of all of the daily stress I experience. Unfortunately, this 'stress' is continuing to mount. I've just found out something this afternoon, that has added to it. When I'm feeling extremely low, I'll sometimes connect with my wonderful online friends, and this is a great pick me up. Other times, I feel it necessary to step away from the computer, and kick back with a favourite movie or tv show. The addition of some good old fashioned comfort food, doesn't hurt either. Then there's always the hope that I can connect with a friend or family member via phone, and in doing so will be cheered up. Take care.

ya, I do sometimes. I don't know where it comes from...I just get sad...really sad. It doesn't happen often. I am normally a pretty postive upbeat person but I will admit that I have had those feelings. It is horrible. I usually stumble thru the day and go to bed as soon as I can. Sleep usually erases it for me, thankfully. It makes me very sympathetic to those who are chronically depressed. If I woke up and still felt that same way with no explanation day in and day out, well, I don't know what I'd do to cope. The sort of depression you describe here is very different from being depressed or stressed for a real reason that you can pinpoint. What you describe is very difficult to pull out from. I had an episode of it this summer that came on so sudden and for no apparent reason. I was walking with my friend and chatting. I don't know if it was something she said or what but all of a sudden I was overcome with this horrible feeling of doom & helplessness. I kept it to myself and got thru but as soon as my daughter went down...so did I. Even then I tossed and turned a bit. Next day...I was good as new. It's not happened too often...just enough to give me a bit of empathy.

Yes, I often feel sad. Usually I blame it on the weather - if it's been overcast for a few days, I tend to get a bit miserable. I think I need Vitamin D from the sun. Sometimes I feel sad because I'm worried about one or other of the children. Sometimes I get fixated on how little time I have left on this earth - and then I start wondering why I'm bothering to do anything, and what it's all about. Usually a nice, brisk walk in the sunshine helps. If not, I just have a good old cry.

I do, right at this moment that i am posting my response to your discussion. There was a time that i always get depress. There is this void inside me that makes me feel sad without warning. In a snap i just feel sad especially during the Christmas season. But now, maybe it is because Christmas is so near and i miss my eldest daughter who is working abroad. She has been away for 2 years now, i opened my YM and she some offlines for me saying that she loves me and misses me and i was so moved that i can't help but cry.

Yes i feel sad sometimes specially when i am alone, i dont know why do i feel that way, i guess i worried so much of the future. But i have some remedy for myself to take away the sadness i feel. 1st. I pray to God to take away this sad feeling i have 2nd. I read inspirational books and the bible 3rd. I listen to praise and worship song that i like most. 4th. I will keep myself busy so that i will forget that sad moments i have. And the last but not the least is i go to a crowded places like shopping malls or amusement park so that i can only see happy faces that makes me happy too.

I do feel sad sometimes and when I do I will pull out a good book or maybe even my bible to read. You people do tend to have a sad moment that come around every now and then.

It is said that there is a specail period time when you would not have the same santation as usual, which means during this time one would get depressio with no reason. I think it just like a machine when working after along time do it need some rest, so then if you ask it to work continusly ,it would make you not satisfactry. As being we are to some extent a machine, plaese spare some time to make a rest for youself. And if you have no mood to do things during this perind, you can walk out of your work sircle and to try something new and changing athe surroudings can release your misery off. I wait for your good news here.

i think life is too small to waste time on being sad..... so njoi guys.. god bless

i do get that at times and my dear hubby attributes it to my pms.boy,do i get mad at him??i try to go out for long walks or sometimes i do go to visit my friends.both these cheers me up.

Pay no attention to such feelings. Don't ever make the mistake of dwelling on them and thinking over "why" you feel that way. Of course, I don't deny that there may be strong reasons for it, but we can't function if we feel that way. I simply tell myself sternly to "snap out of it" and get along with my work. I used this method for a few months, and now I am no longer plagued by these "sudden moments of melancholy." Cheers and happy mylotting

Hello, p1kef1sh. Sometimes I do get sad. It is not hard. But it usually has some explanation, like for when I fail at conquering my objectives. Might be hard to cheer myself up, but now I'm finding that, if I do not worry too much when I start to get sad, I will soon be happy. Do not get used to being sad. Fight your way to change it. When you are sad, think: "How can I change it? What can I do to turn this around?". If you try to do something, you will just be too sad. It's not the exterior world that is getting you down. It is a kind of personal problem with yourself. Tell yourself how great you are. Tell yourself how many things you have been through and all your conquests in life. And then you will start to feel cheered up. Respectfully, Munhozmib.

Yes lots of times, in fact several times a day. Life sucks sometimes but we get over it we pull our socks up get our act into fear and we get with life. Hey life can be a b1stard sometimes but we can cope with that. Well yes I suppose and then we kill or beat up the person who caused this trouble. How is he? I want to punish him, severely!!!!Oh ok things go wrong we get over them and we get on with life. Well some of us do the rest collapse in misery and cry. Such is life.

Hi pikey! Are you really sad? I have no real answer for this. I am clinically depressed so for me I have no clue what the answer is. They give me little pills to help but the don't really work to well. At least not so far. They are playing with new combinations to see what they can come up with. That really is much fun. When I'm depressed I just don't want to do much of anything and that is really bad. I don't want to go out or do anything except mylot. So mylot has really saved me from becoming completely miserable. It cheers me up to get into discussions and it makes me laugh or smile and kind of forget my depression! So it is my escape! That is why I am on here till all hours of the morning because my insomnia won't let me sleep and this gives me something to do. In other words I am a mental mess! But, with the help of my new therapist and shrink maybe we will figure it out someday!

Yes some time I feel sad and depression.I don't know the exact cause.Our hopes are unlimited.But materialised very little.This may be a cause of being sad.Humanbeing is by nature imaginative.When come back from dream to reality some pesons can't cope with the existing situation.Then they become depressed.Without any reason feel sadness is nothing but psychological matter.
