Feeling Sad? Watch Out.

Sadness is the emotion people feel when they've lost something important, or when they have been disappointed about something, or when something sad has happened to them or to someone else.When you're sad, the world may seem dark and unfriendly. You might feel like you have nothing to look forward to. The hurt deep inside may crush your usually good mood.
Sadness makes you feel like crying, and sometimes the tears are hard to stop. Crying often makes you feel better. Sometimes when your mood is sad, you just feel like being alone for a little while. Or you might want someone to comfort you or just keep you company while you go through the sad feeling. Talking about what has made you sad usually helps the sad feeling melt away.

Most of the time, sadness is because of a loss or separation, a difficult change or disappointment about something, or relationship problems. It's but normal to feel sad coz' everyone gets sad but usually feelings of sadness don't last very long — a few hours or maybe a day or two. A deeper, more intense kind of sadness that lasts a lot longer is called depression. And as individual, one should know the following:

When Is Sadness a Problem?
If a sad feeling goes on for too long, hurts too deeply, and makes it hard for you to enjoy the good things about your life, it's called depression.

Here are some of the signs and symptoms of depression:
-feeling empty or numb
-feeling hopeless (like there's nothing to look forward to)
-feeling guilty or worthless
-feeling lonely or unloved
-feeling irritable and annoyed a lot (every little thing gets on your nerves)
-feeling like things are not fun anymore
-having trouble keeping your mind on schoolwork or homework or getting bad grades
-having trouble keeping your mind on things like reading or watching TV or not remembering -- what a book or a TV show was about
-having less energy and feeling tired all the time
-sleeping too much or not enough
-not eating enough and weight loss or eating too much and weight gain
-thinking about death or thinking about suicide
-spending less time with friends and more time alone
-crying a lot, often for no reason
-feeling restless (being unable to sit still or relax)
-having certain body feelings, like lots of stomachaches, headaches, or chest pain

The above-mentioned are actually part of my research to remind everyone including myself, to be cautious of how we felt coz' unknowingly sometimes it might lead to serious problem and sometimes even to death for some who can't cope on how to handle their emotions. And before you know it, the feelings/emotions is too hard to bear that you can't seem to find ways on coping it no matter how strong you feel. You only think you can handle it but no you can't unless you get help.

Be sober.
