Why do I sometimes feel sad for no reason?

There are all kinds of reasons we feel sad, and we don't always recognize them. Sometimes we figure it out later - like realizing that the feeling is actually associated with something we smelled or tasted that day. I've had that happen before. Sometimes we don't ever realize what it was, though. I know that whether or not I ever figure it out, I still feel sad, and I try to give myself space for that. Yeah, I might do something to try to change how I feel. But I might not. Sometimes I figure that I just feel sad, and it's ok. That's a day I might just listen to sad music to go with my mood, or draw. I may have a unique perspective on "sad" though, because I have experienced severe depression, which is very different from feeling blue for a little while. That experience makes me appreciate "sad" for what it is - a normal emotion. It may sound strange, but there are times when feeling sad doesn't feel so bad, just because it does feel human. It is very important to keep in mind, though, that if feelings of sadness stick around for a long time, if you can't figure out what they're connected to, or if you have other things that you (or others) notice that go along with it like decreased energy, motivation, or interest, it's important that you seek professional help to see if you are actually dealing with depression and not just normal sadness.

Feelings sad is an emotion already hard in itself while not being able to understand the reason behind it could make it worse . Feeling sad for no reason could be a symptom being mentally exhausted , lack of sleep , early sign of growing depression etc. It can also occur due to unrealistic expectations from ourselves and others and not being able to fulfill them . It is important to understand that not always bein up to the mark is completely okay and normal . It is also important to understand our feelings because emotions occurring and reoccurring for no reason could be sign about something major too .
