Sadness

Berrybunny

What do you do when you get completely washed over by sadness?

I find it's weird though, because, when I get super sad I feel like crying but then I can't cry.

Life is hard, sadness wells up and it affects everyone.

  • I have struggled with depression and anxiety all my life. When I feel totally overwhelmed by anxiety or sadness, I no longer fight it or ignore it. I just recognise it for what it is and go into hibernation until things improve. If nothing else, it takes away the guilt of ‘what I should be doing in the garden, or whatever’. My mood is low for the vast majority of time, sometimes there are windows of something approaching an even keel. Sometimes there are posts here I would like to respond to, but can’t because of exhaustion and lack of clarity of thinking. 

    i am grateful for you Berrybunny and you Overwhelmed. You both always write such engaging stuff, even if it isn’t always acknowledged.
