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

Sometimes sadness can be overwhelming. First you should have a look and try and figure out what made you feel this way. Sometimes it can be a build up of multiple situations causing you to feel so much sadness all at once. By understanding why you feel this sadness can then help you move forwards. Sadness is a natural emotion to difficult situations. However some people may feel sadness and not know why or understand why they feel the way they do. This is also natural. It could be due to a person repressing emotions or from a person being so overwhelmed it turns to sadness. No one can tell you why you feel the way you do. Dealing with overwhelming feelings of sadness can be difficult but it is all about finding coping strategies and distractions so that you can manage these emotions. Identifying things you enjoy doing is a good start!

Maybe you are going through something, or even something you went through some time ago is just coming to the surface. There are many reasons for sadness. Whatever the reason, you are entitled to feel what you feel. Just do your best to process your emotions and if you ever need to talk, 7cups is an amazing place to do so. Also, if you ever feel you could benefit from professional help, we can help you with that as well. I hope it all gets better for you!

You should go and reflect on the things in your life that could be causing this problem. Maybe it has something to do with school or work. Try going through them all and if you have found one you can start beginning to think of different solutions. I personally have been in this position and by going through all the possible negative factors which could be responsible I eventually found it and worked together with my relatives and people around me to resolve the problem and to think on how we can prevent it. I hope you will find out why you feel this way and work it out!

You may feel really sad because something bad has happened that you are really affected by. It is also possible that there is a chemical imbalance and that you need to see a therapist or you could be experiencing something else that masks itself as sadness. You may be struggling or experiencing a big obstacle in your life that you have no idea how to handle or you could also be lonely. Sadness may also result from feelings of inadequacy or low self-worth. You could be missing somebody that you really care about. Sometimes sadness just comes out of nowhere and we have to ride the waves until it passes.
