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

I am sorry to hear you’re so sad and know that life can be difficult. Sadness can be a very lonely and confusing emotion. You’re not alone. What is going on in your life currently or in the past perhaps, that may be causing you to feel sad? Only you know what makes you feel a certain way and sometimes that can be hard to pinpoint. I’d love to listen and help you however I can. We also have fabulous resources available for you if I may direct you there after we’re finished talking today.

If you have never felt so sad in your life, and are feeling particularly sad now, you may benefit from talking to a therapist or a doctor to see if there is an emotional or physiological cause to the sadness. Professionals such as these are often helpful with identifying the cause and helping alleviate the feelings of such a sadness. If you are feeling sad, there may be multiple potential reasons. You may have a situational sadness, like a particular circumstance that feels weighty, overwhelming, or hopeless, or you may have a condition that predisposes you to sadness, like a chemical imbalance or other health-related concern, or a combination of multiple causes. If you are unable to determine the cause of your sadness, a mental health provider or other healthcare professional may be able to help.

People often feel sad in reaction to events in their life. Too much all at once often leaves us in shock and causes us to sink in despair. This pit of despair often leads us to feel like it is the saddest we have ever been or will be in the future. Some people have higher tolerances for dealing with their troubles than others, but that doesn't mean that other's troubles are insignificant in comparison to ours. We feel so sad because we feel alone in the magnitude of our sorrow and it seems like there is no hope of getting rid of it.

Well there are many different things that can make you feel this way, but if it happens often, you probably will want to seek professional help. If it happens out of nowhere without explanation, thats no good. But if there is a reason to it, for example, you might have failed a test! Or maybe you broke up, but just know that if this happens frequently, thats not ok. You will really need to seek somebody to actually help you. And help is ok! Dont ever be ashamed for getting help! Just know that so many people love you and want to see you feel better!

Believe in yourself and understand: everything that happens to you - you can change. You can please yourself with something, bring new emotions and impressions into your life. You can radically change your life. In fact, the main choice is always yours. Whatever you do: this choice will affect to you. There are no mistakes, there is simply a different, new vector of development. Therefore, if you are in a situation of difficult choice, in a situation where you blame yourself for mistakes and what you have done, know that this is just another turn in your destiny. How many more will there be ... I just want to remind you that everything that happens to you will lead you to yourself, will ultimately lead to the decision that will turn out to be the most successful for you. Everything that worries you now will soon be remembered with a smile, as another obstacle that you have overcome. Everything will be as you want. Let not immediately. Even with failures and mistakes. There is no single instruction. But maybe that's the trick. What do you think? Good luck!

These low periods are stepping stones we all go through and they're really painful, some more than others but others leave lasting damage on us. I like to think every stepping stone I move past I take something from it, most of the time it a lesson or I learn to avoid other stones like that. Sometimes though they just cause great pain that stays with you forever sometimes you'll keep skipping across that pond but you'll carry that painful stone with you. All you can do is learn to let go of it, acknowledge the damage its done and move forward. There is also something else just around the corner. With all the stones you've stepped on you'll be more resilient for what comes next. Keep going x

This is a difficult question. There really isn't one answer to it. Sadness is a strange thing, it comes when we least expect it, and often we don't know why we are feeling sad. Sometimes I struggle too, to identify why I am upset. And sometimes, I'm upset just because. I think you may benefit from a counselor if you have never felt this way before, especially if you are going through something tough, somebody to help and guide you through - it can be very beneficial. This is your decision, but I have faith in you that you will feel better.

Sadness can often stem from situations or events in our lives that come from either internal or external forces. Sometimes, sadness cannot be better explained by any of these and those emotions just pop up out of nowhere. Regardless of the situation, feeling sad isn't an easy feeling to cope with and it can often result in additional feelings of anxiety and hopelessness. Acknowledging that sadness is the first step toward understanding it better as it allows you to take a look inside that emotion to figure out the root of it. Suppressing that sadness because you think you don't have a good enough reason to be sad can be worse in the long run, so trying your best to understand that sadness and acknowledge those feelings is the best step in the right direction toward being able to help yourself feel better.

Thank you for sharing with me how you feel today. I want to say it is very brave of your to speak out to me today and it shows how brave you truly are. I am sorry to hear that you're not feeling your best today. I have felt this way myself from time to time and it feels like it will never end. Sadness is a very real part of being human, we have so many emotions that show up in order to be felt. Sadness is one that is very difficult to process and only the strong (such as yourself) are being given an opportunity to face it. Just you identifying the emotion is a huge step to moving past it. I would say that this will pass, if you can sit with it and not reject the emotion, you will feel better about it.

Sadness is just a feeling, but extreme sadness could lead to depression. Depression isn't a terrible thing, and it is somewhat common for people. You feel this way because of the influence people have on you and others views of the world. It's very sad sometimes, to see people getting bullied, and it's sad to the person getting bullied. There are many views of the world. Many people think that there are certain problems in the world, and views of them can be influenced on you, which isn't good. Sadness is a lot like this. People are enforcing things on you, or troubling things happen.
