Lately, I’ve been feeling kind of down and sad for no reason. It’s getting me a bit worried, because it feels like no matter how hard I try to push away my negative thoughts, they keep coming back. The worst part is that I’m not even sure why I’m feeling this way, or if there’s anything I can do to change it.
I’m trying to stay positive and focus on the good things in my life, but sometimes it just seems too difficult to stay focused on those happy moments when I’m feeling so low already. It helps when friends or family reach out and let me know they’re there for me, which reminds me of the support system I have available.
It also helps when I take some time for myself - whether that’s through going for a walk outside, reading a book that makes me laugh, cooking a comforting meal, meditating or writing in my journal about what’s really bothering me - whatever it takes to reconnect with myself and get away from the sadness.
No matter what the cause is for feeling sad or lonely, taking care of yourself is key!
