I’ve just been so sad recently. I cry but I know there’s no reason to. Or I cry over the smallest things. There’s nothing over the top bad happening to me. I know I’m living a happy and stable life and I’m thankful but why do I feel so sad?
Hi @User1440,
Thank you for sharing what you’re going through—it sounds like you’ve been feeling deeply confused by your emotions, and I can only imagine how frustrating that must be. Sometimes, sadness can show up even when life feels stable or even happy, and it doesn’t always need a big, dramatic reason to be there. Your emotions are valid, even if it seems like they don’t “match” what’s happening in your life.
It sounds like you’re feeling a lot of sadness lately, and I hear you when you say that you cry over small things or without a clear cause. This can feel confusing, especially when you also recognize that you have things in your life to be thankful for. But I want to reassure you that it’s okay to feel this way. Sometimes, our emotions can come from places we haven’t fully explored yet, and that’s okay too.
I wonder if it might help to explore what else could be contributing to these feelings. Even if there’s nothing “over the top bad” happening, sometimes there are smaller things in our lives or even past experiences that we haven’t fully processed yet. Have you noticed any particular thoughts or memories that come up for you when you feel this way?
It might also be helpful to look at how we can manage these emotions when they come up. There are ways to regulate how you’re feeling so that the sadness doesn’t feel so overwhelming. I’d be happy to help explore some techniques that could work for you.
You’re doing a great job by reflecting on your feelings and looking for answers. I’d love to hear more about how you’re feeling and support you in finding what works best for you.

I guess school has been tough and I mean the students. They don’t necessarily bully me but they’ve said some things that upset even though they were such small things and I feel embarrassed for being so affected by it. I love my parents but I’m having trouble sharing things with them because of their replies. I know they’re trying to help but it just never works.
I don’t blame school nor my family but that’s all that I think is stressing me out so much. But once again, they’re only small comments or actions that probably don’t even have bad intentions.
Hi @user1440,
Thank you for being willing to share your struggles with us. Reaching out for support is not an easy task, and I’m proud of you for taking that first step.
With regards to what you shared, it’s okay to feel sad even when things seem to be going well on the surface. Sometimes our emotions don’t always align with our external circumstances, and that’s completely normal.
On top of that, it’s also important to give yourself the space to feel your emotions and to seek support if you need it. You’re not alone, and it’s always okay to ask for help.
