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

You probably feel this way, because something traumatic might have happened. Maybe. If not, you may have just had an overwelming amount of emotions, which caused sadness.

There are so many things that cause sadness, it is impossible to answer this question without knowing more about your life and situation. You are too vague and general with what you have asked. Please be more specific and talk with a professional or a listener here at 7 Cups of Tea

There are many reasons for sadness, most of them are triggered by our day to day experiences for example reading something sad. Sometimes however we are sad for reasons we don't fully understand, this can be caused by underlying mental health issues. If you feel you might be suffering from something like this, seek profession advice.

Unfortunately, humans can feel sadness, joy, grief, anger - it is a natural human emotion and not all sadness is bad. Always remember that it's temporary and that you can work through problems and events that cause you grief and despair, or sadness. If you feel constantly depressed, you should consult with a trained counsellor or psychologist. They can help you uncover things that may be hidden in the subconscious. But always keep in mind: sadness is temporary and it requires support to get through it, so don't isolate yourself with your problems and reach out to others.

I am not sure. Sadness happens for various reasons. Often the older we get, the deeper our sadness can become.

It's a base in every life, sometimes you have to feel sadness to appreciate happiness after that, just know it'll go away and everything will be fine like it was before. Hold on :)

Well, everyone goes through a rough spot in their lives. It is normal to experience this. However, if the feelings stay for more than a month, you may want to talk to a professional.

Because sometimes emotions build up so strong you have just got to let them go, however this takes time.

There could be multiple reasons as to why you may be feeling this way and it could be to do with your environment, a chemical imbalance, any life changing situations such as someone dying or being ill, having little to no hobbies or interests, money problems, relationship issues and so on. If you feel like there is nothing really wrong with your life and nothing that could be causing these issues, I would suggest you see your GP as soon as possible as they're not only qualified to give you advice but they also know you and your families history as well as being able to prescribe any medications that they feel you may need. You may also want to consider seeing a counsellor who can help you get to the route of the problem. Hope this helps.

It is more than natural that people feel sad for at least once in their lifetime. Imagine feeling happy your whole life and no other emotions at all! That would be absolutely boring! Sometimes sadness is an emotion that actually gives you the reason to be happier in your life because everyone knows that the sunshine before a rain always gives the best feeling than the sun that shines forever! So don't worry sooner or later, you'll be having the best time of your life after all this is over!
