I’m sorry you are really sad. I get this way too and i don’t really know how to help it either but i just want to let you know that you’re not alone. If you have someone (family or friend) that you can really talk to, please call them. If not, keep posting here and people will keep responding. Praying you are relieved from these feelings soon!

I ask "do I have a reason to be sad", sometimes I do. Next I tell myself that the feeling will pass and that it is OK to have different feelings, content or happy will feel that much better. The biggest step is for me to understand that my perception will be my reality, if I keep saying "I'm so sad" I will be sad. I then challenge that self-talk; "I'm so sad", "no I'm not", and I keep on checking my self-talk.

This is a form of story editing that I have been working on for the past few years, If my view of the world is crummy I change my viewpoint.

I feel for you and I thank you for posting this, it helps me stay vigilant in my journey.
