Have you ever experience being sad and not knowing why....

yeah, i've been thru that, too. it seemed to be hormonal, but i was able to manage. just divert your attention to some fun stuff and always make sure you don't spend time alone. engage in social activities to get rid of that sadness.

I know that I'm in the same boat with you. I get up every day feeling sad and depressed; I think I been this way most, or all, my life. You can get Skype online for very low cost and you can probably call people worldwide or whatever countries can get Skype. I pay only $2.95 per month to use Skype but I might be limited to the US; I'm not sure. I can really feel for you because sometimes I feel like I'm starving to talk to someone. Especially to talk to someone in person. I tried making friends with 2 neighbors but they don't want to go out for coffee or anything. The one I been talking to outside sometimes and the other one I don't waste time speaking with since she is a very stuck-up person. She's an engineer (or training to be one) and she thinks she's to good to be my friend. And there's actually nothing great about her at all (to me anyways).

Well actually when I get sad i usually know why I feel that way and I try to fix my sadness with some happiness always works for me. Feeling sad is never a good feeling to feel in the first place because sadness leads to depression and we have to be careful not to fall into a dark abyss.

Hi buddy, that's life, not always happy but having some moments of sadness. I myself can't stand the rain. It makes me sad without any reasons. Maybe the coldness, the boring rhythm, or the abandoned streets are the reasons. However, when the sun shines again, the joy comes back quickly. Come one, no sadness is endless. When the rain goes, the sun shines^^

Don't be sad . This life have a lots things you need to explore . If U feel sad , U should share it . cause when u happy its mean dats you feel this life so easily and when you are sad dats you will feel this life is so bad . So , don't look back . Go ahead , find something can make you laugh .

I'm kind of the same way right now, being sad and not really knowing why. And it really sucks to not know why. It takes a lot of patience and pulling strings until we get to that moment. Just know that you're not alone in all this--no matter what. I think for me, a lot of it is that I've avoided my emotions for the better part of it, but I've found that talking about it in the form of some release, whether it's talking to friends, someone I trust, or just writing it down have been a big help. We all need someone to talk to at times, and if you ever need someone to talk to, please let me know and I'd be glad to talk to you. You have taken the first step though, admitting your feelings and that is a big thing.

I think that this is a lot more common than people let on. In my experience a nice jog or walk helps a lot. This not only clears your mind and brings you closer to nature, but the movement releases endorphins into your system. Endorphins act like opioids in that they produce a feeling of euphoria. If you don't want to jog or exercise, eat chocolate.. yum yum

You might miss someone or something. might be the feeling that you are surrounded by your friends, or your husband who is busy with something else, or might be your siblings way back when you were young and could run to them anytime. well i if get sad, i'd rather stay at home and sleep than be surrounded with people. when i woke up, i feel fine and would forget the feeling i had before going to bed.. be blessed! :)

it was a sad day for me yesterday . im kinda exhausted and bored and the day seems to be frowning at everybody . To add to this sad feeling is I am missing spmeone terribly that there's no other way to make that feeling go away....

I know what you mean. I have those days sometimes too. I think it varies on each invidual..sometimes we feel lonely and the best thing is to let it out and you feel a lot better then. But as someone already pointed out, try to distract yourself when you're in a mood like that, because sadness and too much overthinking often leads to depression which is a vicious circle you don't wanna enter. been there, so I know, trust me.

oh yeah i do feel sad sometimes and i don't know why....just feel gloony at certain times of the day. whenever i feel sad i just stay inside my room and lock up. i try to meditate or read novels or watch my fave korean drama. as you were saying your friends are away does it mean that your in a different country away from your native land? if its a yes then you surely feel sad. just try to get out and find something that can preoccupy your mind .do stuff which you haven't been doing before. try to experience new things.that way you'll always look forward for the coming days and be excited of your new discovery. when in blue you can always vent out here in mylot..surely lots of peeps here would keep you company.:)

hello gladeez! i can understand your feelings for i, too, had some share of sad moments in my life. It just come, and i did not know why i was sad in the first place and seems to me as the days goes on, i become more each minute. Later though, i realized after some research and readings, that women are prone to these moments due to hormonal changes. The sudden onset of melancholy just comes without provocation and they go away, just as suddenly as they had come. On the other hand, i have learned Gladeez that in order for us to be happy, we have to think it, happiness starts from the mind, you have to get your mind to thinking that you are happy. No matter how you deny that, we can control our emotions if we really desires it. That's why the head is placed over our hearts, for us to think and control our emotions. As to your feelings of sadness, it would have been better indeed if you have someone to talk with, you would discover your feelings of sadness would dissipates as suddenly as it had come. however, if you have no one to talk to, you could start a journal, like i did. I poured whatever i was feeling and thinking on my journal. I had fun reading it, days and months later, it was then that i realized that i could control my emotions, i just have to will it.

As a depressive person, I'm always feeling like that. Sometimes good things happens, and I don't give a damn. It sound ungrateful, but it's not my fault, it's my condition. I hope you feel better, if you wanna somebody to talk to, I'm here =)

I know exactly what you are saying. I had a day like that last week and I couldn't for the life of me work out why I was so sad. In the end I just gave up and had a good cry and felt better for it after. I did think about talking to someone about it but what could I tell them as I didn't know why I was sad in the first place. Sometimes you just have to go with how you feel and have a good cry.
