I stumbled upon your post, found it such interesting topic to dive in.
Many ppl confuse between having depression and being sad.
Before I explain the difference between both of them, I let you know that they are both linked, somehow feeling sad is a symptom of having depression.
Well, let's talk about the difference,
Sadness is an emotion that everyone can experience due to such a bad event, unexpected happening such as death or disappearing of loved ones, loss at work, at home, generally related with materials...
Whereas depression is a mental health disorder that have a negative big role in destroying your life, and it has a lot of serious symptoms
Anxiety, anger, lack of energy, sleeping disorder, losing appetite, feeling sad, unworthy...the worst of them is having thoughts bout death and suicide!!!
As u can see, nothing from the symptoms above are found in your post,
And what you are experiencing is natural and can happen with everybody,
So don't worry,
Dale carnegie the writer he published the greatest book of all times in 1948 in UK, the most sold one, the title of book : how to stop worrying and start living, after that he committed suicide.
Your post is very meaningful, I prefer to be sad alone than being surrounded by bunch of freaks, I tell u sorry for your Sadness, and enjoy your Sadness,
Coz what am
going to say could sound absurd and strange a little bit,
The depressed in my view is not a sick person, nor an introverted person surrounded by mystery, and isolated socially..behaving awkwardly...In my view the depressed person is wonderful, is a person who saw reality and the world without mask, and was unable to deal with that ugliness!!!
