Sad for no reason

[Purple75]

I don’t know what to do I just got a new job that I’m happy about. I feel like everything in my life is getting better. But I just can’t stop having moments in the day where I just feel sad and I don’t know why. I ask myself if I’m happy and I have every reason to be happy but I’m not and I don’t know why

I think sometimes we psych ourselves out in anticipation of starting something new. Then, it takes our bodies a while to get back down from that rush of emotions. When I recently started my new job, I had a great first day! BUT, I immediately started to feel weird and sad for no apparent reason. I love my job, the people, and the work! But, the build-up to starting work was hard, and I think it took a while for my body to catch up and understand the emotions, hormones, etc.

You have the right to feel a way you cannot explain. You deserve to be happy, and you will be

Hi Purple75,

For some of us I think circumstances only help with our mood to a point? Maybe some of it is just biochemical? It is normal to have a full range of emotions, including sadness. My sadness lately is daily, most of the day until the afternoon/evening. Then I have a few hours feeling better.
