It’s also suggested to create a safety plan. This means you gather your supports, someone you trust, to help maybe take you to the ER if symptoms persist. Take control, today and everyday, and watch the sadness fade. Start with “I am worth it.” 6. Disempowerment My 8 year old just loves a sensory toy and was excited to see the So Sand DIY Sensory Studio. The box was bright and colourful and she loves playing with magic sand. We opened the box up and looking through the contents which included the Sensory Studio, 5 Tools, 3 Tools 2in1, one mat with patterns and 2 Sand Containers. There was also all the materials to make the magic sand – 3 bags of plain magic sand, 3 bags of colour and 3 bags of glitter. When the depression becomes numb, it could be a multitude of emotions lingering that the brain suppresses to help you cope. In that state, it’s time to reach out. Even if you don’t know what is causing it, it’s time to act.

Be kind to yourself. That’s the best way to handle sadness from a hardship. Know that it’s natural to be there, but it won’t be so pushy forever. That’s where your own abilities come into play.With most forms of depression, periods of sadness might last a few weeks or longer, depending on the type of depression you have, and then lift temporarily. You might not feel sad or notice any other symptoms for some time. In addition, according to Boyd, Harrison's ascetic ways were contrasted by his periods of excessive drinking and drug-taking, [12] and womanising. [13] [14] That mask needs to come off. Otherwise, you’re just waiting for more sadness to consume you when isolated and alone. That mask is designed to distract others from your pain, but it doesn’t work in the long term. Eventually, that mask will break. If you’re struggling to muster up any energy, try low-key activities instead of ones that you feel exhausted just thinking about.

You might begin to notice your feelings of sadness, along with any other symptoms you experience, follow a specific pattern. Depression can take different forms, and various underlying factors can have an impact on the way your symptoms show up. If you keep it on, you will look towards that mask as who you really are. You will pretend and lose sight of your dreams and goals. Instead of letting that happen, take the mask off.Pattie Boyd (with Penny Junor), Wonderful Today: The Autobiography, Headline Review (London, 2007; ISBN 978-0-7553-1646-5). Even significant life events such as buying a house, having a baby or planning a wedding could lead to feelings of sadness. Experts believe sunlight prompts your brain to produce serotonin. When you have lower levels of this hormone in your system, you’re more likely to feel depressed, especially as fall and winter roll around. Spending more time in the sun, then, can increase serotonin and potentially relieve sadness. Maybe you didn’t notice it at first, but the sadness creeped slowly up on you. Maybe you need it though as a wake up call. This isn’t the life you deserve. Maybe it’s time to change something.
