Does anyone experience being sad a lot without having depression? I tend to fall in this category since I always feel sad and lonely but it never lasts for two weeks straight with no let up. I may feel sad more than usual and longer than usual but it’s never full blown and doesn’t meet the requirements for depression. I’ve wondered if there’s a name for those who fall onto that category or if that’s just simply moodiness or insecurity.
I usually feel this way after something bad or stressful happens or even if I am shunned by someone or a group of people which everyone has experienced. I also feel this way when I’m just simply by myself even though I like my solitude. I can even feel extremely low when I’m around others and at times really big changes can have me feeling so low that I just feel completely drained and worthless. There has been a few instances sporadically where these feelings lasted more than two weeks but usually there are short periods where I feel happy in between. |
