Just feeling so terrible I don't even really know why this overwhelming feeling of sadness just came over me, I just don't want to do anything, I tried to have a nap to take my mind off things but I can't sleep. I've got to eat dinner in a little while but i really don't think I can face it. I feel like I'm only just functioning right now but I don't know why I was okay this morning, but now I'm not I hate how my mood can just change so fast for no good reason. Arrrrrgh. I just want to cut then curl up in my bed and sleep.

Maybe the sadness is something that has been building up for a while but has never been 'let in'?
Perhaps you could have an early night and see if you feel better in the morning. Otherwise, you could try doing something cathartic like writing or music.

Take care xx

i'm so sorry you're feeling like this. I don't really have any wise words but i empathise with you. Feeling fine then drastically worse in the same day for no reason is pretty scary. How do you feel today?
All i can sugest is doing things you enjoy and find relaxing like listening to music, reading, writing, play sport (usually helps me), go for a run/walk, talk to a friend orwatch a film. Keep eating healthily as i find when i don't eat much i lose a lot of energy which can make me feel worse.

Take care xx

How are you feeling now? It's hard when you suddenly feel overwhelmed with sadness, I know it can be hard but often it is helpful to do something. Getting some exercise like going for a walk/run can help as it releases endorphins which can make you feel a little bit better. Even doing something you enjoy can help like listening to some music or watching a favourite movie. Hold on there hun.
