Has anyone ever felt that wave of sadness that creeps in every now and then?

It’s not quite depression, and it’s not suicidal thoughts it’s just this strange emptiness, like you have no hope or purpose for a moment. It’s especially weird because it shows up even when something exciting just happened.
It’s kind of like when you order something online and spend days looking forward to it. Then it finally arrives, and you open it… and suddenly that anticipation, that little spark of joy, disappears. The excitement fades so fast, and you’re left sitting there like, “Was that it?” I get this feeling every month or so, like a wave I can’t stop. I don’t know if it’s normal, but it hits hard sometimes.

    Yes. That’s just the human condition unfortunately. I would suggest meditating. I have this dark dreaded feeling that kept creeping up but the more I look inward and try to become more content it tends to help.

    I am having the most intense Deja Vu reading this post and even commenting on it. Yes. The deep depressive type thoughts hit pretty hard. I try to reflect on why and usually come out the other side with an over thought reason why i am so bothered. Then go forth from there, if I can change it, I try to, if not I try to figure out how I can.
