Sadness is an emotion that affects everybody. Some days you just feel "blue", and it is hard to say why. Changes in mood are normal. This does not mean the sadness has no cause. Losses big and small are a part of every life and everyone has cause to feel some sadness about things in their life. Feeling sad is not necessarily something that should be resisted at all costs. We need some sadness, just like we need all our emotions. However, we can learn to manage our sad moods in order to make it less likely that they will turn into an actual depression.


Some ways of dealing with sadness that are generally positive.

* Social support. Talking to friends or family when you are feeling down can help you feel better. Hang around people who always Compliment n cherish, you will get vibes from the happy person.
