Why We Hide Our Sadness!?

Why We Hide Our Sadness!?

We're living in difficult times socially, politically, economically, and spiritually. I speak with many of us and what I hear in one form or another is that they desire they're being dive-bombed by stimuli thrown at us, mailed to us, yelled at us, and preached to us. I can not believe the speed of sadness and depression isn't above reported.

We're living in difficult times socially, politically, economically, and spiritually. I speak with many of us and what I hear in one form or another is that they desire they're being dive-bombed by stimuli thrown at us, mailed to us, yelled at us, and preached to us. I can not believe the speed of sadness and depression isn't above reported.

All of this can be superimposed on the factors, before the pandemic, like divorce, loss of jobs, moving, and other social experiences causing stress and sadness. So why are we hiding our sadness or depression?

 The Depression

It's important to know the difference between feeling depressed and being diagnosed with depression. We all experience feeling depressed because life isn't perfect. We're up against challenges daily because life doesn't include a manual. We're constantly in trial and error mode and believe it or not, sometimes we fail.

Depression may be a diagnosis given by a mental state provider or sometimes a medical provider. There are a bunch of criteria one must meet before receiving the diagnosis of depression. Treatment for major affective disorder is also different than feeling depressed but there can also be some similarities.

Our Emotional Health

Our emotional health, in these turbulent times, is also in constant flux. We are also surprised at how far and the way fast the emotional pendulum swings with or with none notice. Humans are complex beings. We live lives that transcend simply trying to survive. we want social contact, a way of meaning and purpose, together with the basic needs of food, clothing, and shelter.

If we hide our emotional being, we may believe we're protecting ourselves from judgment. We may believe we're protecting others from the dark cloud hanging over our heads. In fact, we're not doing any of that, what we're doing is obstructing the natural outlet for emotional challenges. We prevent ourselves et al from either receiving or offering care.

The Frustration

Do "Rainy Days and Mondays Always Get us Down?" There are plenty of things getting us down but teasing out the cause could be a process. Perhaps we'd like a mental state professional to guide our process. We may have a spiritual director to assist us to unleash our personal demons. There are support groups and crisis lines at our disposal to eliminate our isolation and terminal uniqueness.

Look around, watch, and hear others. you will be surprised at the number of individuals walking around with a dark cloud following them around while putting on a smiling face. we want to measure our truth. it is vital to urge the assistance we'd like to measure full lives. Suicide rates are on the increase because there's an excessive amount of stigma related to psychological state challenges and treatment.

Ending the stigma and judgment about the psychological state, we must always be celebrated the lives of these facing their challenges and showing us it's possible to urge through our dark times.
