Emotions – we all have them. Sometimes you can feel an array of emotions and not know why. Unfortunately, these are usually sad feelings. We have taken a look at some reason you may be all consumed and feeling down but not know why.
Factors such as social, cultural, environmental can all play roles in the way your feeling but what if there’s something else getting you down? Something else you’re able to pinpoint the exact cause of. Here are some possible explanations:
Unconscious emotions: There are some times whereby people may not even be aware that there are some underlying emotions that are contributing to their sadness. The reason for this is that the emotions may be rooted in past experiences, traumas or difficulties they been through. More often than not, it takes a trained therapist to really get to the bottom of the .
Chemical imbalances: Brain chemistry is a extremely complex thing to even begin to try and understand. Imbalances can cause unexplained feelings of sadness or depression. These imbalances can be down to many different factors such as genetics, hormonal changes, or external factors such as drug use or medication.
Life stressors: External life stressors can play a huge role in how you’re feeling. Whether it be relationship problems, financial struggles, work-related stress, or health issues, all can contribute to feelings of sadness or depression. Even if someone cannot pinpoint a specific cause, sometimes the cumulative effect of these stressors may still lead to a general feeling of sadness or depression.
Lack of self-awareness: Identity crisis and being out of touch with your emotions could also be something that is causing you to feel down. This may be due to a lack of emotional intelligence or a tendency to suppress or avoid negative feelings. Again, the suggestions of talking to a medical professional or a trained therapist could be a way forward to overcome it.
If someone is experiencing persistent feelings of sadness or depression, it may be helpful to talk to a mental health professional who can provide support and guidance in identifying and addressing the underlying causes.
