Why do I wake up feeling sad sometimes?

Sometimes I wake up sad because my dreams are better than my reality, Sometimes I wake up sad because I am not as progressed in my life as I thought I would be. When I was young I imagined big things for myself, and constantly dealing with anxiety and panic disorder, along with depression, can be crippling. I haven't lived up to my expectations and when I wake up, it hits me hard from time to time.

During sleep we process our day, feelings and memories. If something sad comes up, we might wake up just as we wake up when we dream something scary because our brain works a lot on these things and maybe translates them into dreams who travel into our subconscious mind and affect us even if we sleep. We wake up sad but often can't remember what we dreamt.

It happens to everyone, and it's okay to feel sad. Sit with the feeling for a few moments. Feel it as deeply as you can. Then take a few deep breaths and tell yourself that you are going to push it aside and flip your day around. Tell yourself five positive things, jump out of bed, and focus on those things throughout the day. It is okay to feel sadness, but don't let it control you.

it might be because you are depressed and something is going on in your mind that is troubling you. You are not happy about the way things are going.

I always wake up feeling sad, but it's because I've had a bad dream or i feel like there's nothing to look forward to for when I wake up.

You have to ask yourself that, why do you wake up feeling sad sometimes? Are you sad? Do you want to stop being sad? That's something I can help you with, If you want to be happy. If you want to be happy, do things that make you happy. Do you have a hobby? Such as painting or singing. Maybe drawing? Do it! Do you prefer playing video games? Cool, do it! Do you like hanging out with your friends? Alright, go party! You aren't in the mood though are you? Get up and dance because it's gonna be okay. Don't wake up being sad anymore, go poke someone in the nose and say have a good day :) or better yet give em a big up (Maybe not strangers though xD)

I once read that succumbing to depression doesn’t mean you are weak, but that you have been trying to be strong for too long, which is maybe a form of denial. So much of life happens somewhere in between being okay and complete breakdown—that’s where many of us live, and doing so requires strength.”

everyone feels sad time to time the difference is in how we chose to go on with the day by change it

When you wake up, its like your subconscious mind is also waking up and sending you signals. It means that their could be something going on in your life that needs to be taken care of,

I find I wake up sad because I go to sleep sad, I try to watch something that makes me laugh before falling asleep or having positive thoughts. Your brain still works while asleep and if you are already feeling sad your dreams may reflect that and hence feeling sad once you wake.

Occasionally I wake up from a perfectly restful night feeling very down. Why does this happen? Why has my day had to start like this? I've realized that the feelings of sadness stem from my anxiety about my future. I am applying to graduate schools and I am very, very nervous about what will happen. Imagining the worse (rejection) makes me very sad. How will I handle that? Right now I don't have the answer but what I do know is that I can't let the fear of possible rejection prevent me from putting my best application forward no matter the outcome.

Sometimes you just feel sad because you don’t have a good rest or sometimes there’s lots of things going on your life and sometimes you just don’t know what they are but they’re in your mind and you think about them and you just feel sad and you just don’t like your life and that’s not good and we need to

The morning is an indicator for how our past has been. So if you lost something, or find yourself solving a certain life question, that can make you sad. We, as humans, are designed to feel all colours of emotions, not just those we perceive as "good". If you find yourself sad, you could try to find out why, but even if you don´t, trust yourself in finding the answer once you accept this feeling. Best of luck to you.

Sometimes life can be tiring and emotionally draining, and it's okay to feel sad. Waking up every day is a fresh start to a new day.

Feeling sad upon waking up can be caused by a variety of things, it can be a symptom of depression or many other mental illnesses as well. Or it can just happen randomly. Don't stress over why you're feeling sad, make yourself happy by eating your favorite food or listening to your favorite music.

Life is hard, and it's not made of happiness, we have to create it. Sad is something that we can go over, sometime, when i walk, talk, sleep or even talk I remeber something that makes me sad. But you know what is making me smiling right now? Everything good that I have, everything and if you say that you have nothing, you're wrong, just think. There's always someting that will make you smile again.

You feel sad because you are sad. Emotions are valid things, and they don't always need a cause. Sadness can be part of a healthy range of emotions. However, if it is impeding your ability to function then you may want to seek out a therapist who can provide you with help dealing with the underlying causes of your sadness.

The reason behind feeling sad or bereft sometimes upon waking up, is due to having gone to bed the night before with only negative thoughts.

A dream could trigger you feeling sad, even though you might not remember it. Or just a recent event

Depression doesn't just stop overnight. Depression can last weeks even months before getting better.
