Sadness
Have you asked your self severally,what really is sadness? We feel sad most times from pain, disappointment or discouragement,it is the feeling of unhappiness and having a low mood. Sadness is an emotion experienced by everyone. What causes sadness to each and everyone is different,it's a feeling you feel and someone else might not feel that same way. It is one of the basic human experience. It is a normal response to situations,issues that are painful or disappointing, sometimes the feeling are more deep while some other times the feeling might just be mild.
Long-time sadness over something can cause depression,you may feel sad for alot of reasons,it might be maybe you are having trouble at home or school, feeling pressure here and there or lost a loved one. I have two experience about that that I want to share now;
I could remember a long time ago when my dad just bought his car, everyone was happy,it was a new rare car, everyone was talking about the car then, after about a week my elder brother drove the car out without my dad's consent, funny enough my dad went out that day and he hid the key somewhere but my brother went there to take the key and drove the car out,when he got back,the car was already injured 😂,I mean he already hit the car against a wall. My brother already knew what this means,he was scared to death,when my dad came back he saw what happened and started shouting,my brother ran to the room and locked the door because if my dad could get hold of him that day,his life would not have remain the same again,you get what I mean right 😁,my dad could not beat him that day,he later ran to my grandparents house house then. It was a complete state of sadness that week not just that day, everyone was not feeling good especially my dad,it was sadness all through.
Another one is when we actually lost my dad last two years,the house was a complete mess, infact depression set in, everyone was not okay,I could remember my mum would cry everyday,even till now sometimes she still cries but not as before,even me when I was learning handwork then ,I could remember my boss gave me a month to stay at home after that incident but even when I resumed I couldn't focus well,my mind was always far away, always lost in thoughts,that is another state of sadness that can lead emotional pain or distress for a long time or heart attack. In some people it might lead everlasting problem,they might not feel alright again, ongoing sadness leads to depression if not controlled.
