Being sad for no reason, struggling to do the simplest of tasks despite having a life in which most people would be thriving, is uniquely isolating. I am constantly surrounded by people who have less than me, who struggle more than me, and who succeed more. On the other side I am surrounded by people who struggle less than me, want less, and are more content than I am. The constant voice I hear in my mind telling me I’m pathetic for struggling when my problems are so small makes it so hard to share my feelings, my failures, and my successes with those close to me, and equally hard to feel happy for them in their successes. I have internalized the idea that if I struggle more I’ll be able to justify it. The fact that others experience this is cold comfort.

I wrote a poem a while back about the same feeling: A deep sadness strikes at midnight. There seems to be no apparent reason for it. How does one get through it? How does one know what it is? I ask myself if it's that reason or this. Is it the sudden realisation of a lost parent? Is it the poem I just read? Is it the lover who doesn't love me like they used to? Or is it the friend that drifted away? I tell myself to let it be. Let it make me. Let it be me. Let sadness be sadness. I tell myself I will endure this night like every other. I tell myself I will be ready next time when a deep sadness strikes at midnight.

I've had seasonal "sadness attacks" since at least 11 y. o. These came for no aparent reason, although they almost always came during summer. The feeling was awful. It was an utter despair, like a deep feeling of emptiness that makes you rethink your whole life. But there was no objective reason for them. Now that I'm an adult I have very real reasons to feel sad and depressed, so I've been on heavy antidepressant medication since I was 23, and the "sadness attacks" don't really come anymore, but I always fear that if I ever stop taking the medication for a relatively long period of time they will eventually come back. Anyway, that's my story. I'll just put it out there in case anyone has had the same experience, so that they know they're not alone.

Seeing a lot of "woah how did he know I'm also sad at this very instant" and I'm a bit concerned. Surface level "don't be sad" aside, I think this is one of the few illusions that should be broken. Not everyone currently watching this video is sad. Nor were *you* always sad. Your brain might automatically start recollecting all the sad moments in your life the nanosecond you read the video's title which gave you a negative rush. Which is fine, that happens to anyone, but I hope people are at least a little bit more aware of it. Don't chase the sadness away, you'll get same results as chasing a butterfly. Just stay conscious of it, treat yourself if needed, don't be afraid to talk to close ones about it (or write it down in some journal, or express yourself in art if that's your thing) If you're watching this video you probably have a lot of time on your hands (or at least you could cut down on KZbin a little) and take some time to reflect upon yourself. Learn by little what makes you tick, what makes you happy and sad. You don't have to meticulously research yourself to optimize your happiness (sort of cynical approach), it's enough just for you to know that you're familiarizing yourself with yourself. I hate how generic this may sound but "do what's best for you". Cry for a bit, scribble some moody picture, sing, sleep, eat a little snack, jog, box or whatever. Maybe you'll find something that works really well in these down times, good times won't wait forever to come.

@@DarthYall Tell me about it... I live in Russia and every channel is either braindead comedy or braindead warmongering/war justification and shit ton of propaganda.

The horrible things happening to all victims of this fill me with anxiety every day (and I mean all victims - dead ukranians, dead russians, life-broken ukranians, jailed russian opposition, propaganda-manipulated people on both sides which sadly includes my family) But I still manage to find good reasons to pick myself up and push on. Possible gf, possible relocation job/internship, some russian friends who aren't brainwashed like my parents, my current teacher job, hobbies, etc. It's true the world is horrible and the future is scary, but don't let that bring you down. You're a part of this world, you're the one who can affect the future. Things don't *have* to keep being miserable just because they *are* right now. Sorry in advance if this seemed like a big selfish vent. I just wanted to give a genuine example of keeping hope for the best in spite the worst.

[@bf7592]

Real talk: a lot of short period thoughts like this come down to sensory overload, your body feels some level of mild discomfort, but can't find it because it's the system itself causing it, so it can lean all existential. I have had mood swings like this my whole life, still do, but I've found like 90% of these now days I can link to overloading. If you add up a lot of those, it's pretty easy to see how you get to a depressive episode. Also, if you notice mood swings like this happen following exciting events, there's a really great chance that's the event. You got really excited by something cool happening, and your nervous system went with it, and then demanded a rest period after. It really helps me to imagine a sine curve and think about the slightly larger pattern. Plus cry if you can, it's probably the most efficient release for this, or close to it.

After a year of therapy and focusing on medication I feel like myself again, like I haven't been this content or happy since high school. Once all the pieces were working together (therapy, meds) it felt like I came out of an emotional coma. I'm laughing and joking again , I'm drawing/painting again and the world looks a little less bleak.

We feel trapped in the law, our jobs, expectations, social norms, mutual "friendships", our economic and educational status, etc.

[@Drekromancer]

Beautiful, poignant, and bittersweet. An important message over an immaculate vibe. I don’t know how you do it, but I thank you for sharing this with us.

[@agushi2794]

Thanks Sisyphus for reminding me that like all things, our emotions are temporary. Hope everyone find meaning in their sadness.

[@jasminrose2995]

insane how well times this is :(

[@corncobjohnsonreal]

It's good to feel sad society just tells you it's wrong and then they make the sadness worse because

[@Nick-hb6ox]

For a long time I was bothered because I couldn't remember the last time I was truly happy. Now I don't really care, I'm focusing on bettering myself and hoping happiness comes along the way, if it doesn't at least I tried ya know?

[@batty9712]

thank you. i always make sure to let myself feel sad, but i can never really understand why i do. now i know, thank you.

[@qwdmaal2748]

your timing is scarily accurate,,

[@mindfulnesswithmatt]

no sadness is irrational, let yourself feel and joys can bloom come spring

[@debajyoti.guha_bong]

I don't have words to express gratitude for this video. You are saving lives. ♥️

[@OohsAndAhsBros]

It's really comforting & joy-inducing to read all these comments about all of these people who felt this same thing as me on the same video speaking about the aforementioned feeling. It feels like the universe recognized each & every one of us if for at least just one moment.

[@soubs242]

[@claireschweizer4765]

Good to know people aren't alone in experiencing this.

[@paperthea]

This is the first time im commenting. For some reason, the first second i heard his voice and the music. My eyes were filled with tears. I was trying to let out my sadness by crying , but nothing came out. it surprised me that i was actually crying in a long time. Honestly this was the first time my tears came running down so fast. id like to say thx, for helping me let out my tears.

[@odontologiaesteticaeharmon1692]

[@lilmama16ification]

This helped me remember that todays just one of those days…and I’m Not alone…thank you

[@lptotheskull]

It's seems like every time you release a video it seems relevant to whatever crisis I'm dealing with at the time

[@nikevisor54]

Your writing and delivery are world-class. Thank you for sharing your perspectives with us

[@KzRFAUSTI]

I really miss her, she was one of the most influential people I have ever met. I hope to meet her again soon, just so I can tell her how big of an impact she had on me as a person, as a man. I just want one more opportunity to say thank you, because I lacked the strength to say it before.

[@jusu8961]

i often feel this way, but noticed it only happened during evenings. so atleast for me, its my serotonin levels that can fuck up all logical thought and make me feel sad for no reason and ive talked about it with others and they all share the same experience.

[@itselliescott]

Get out of my head, it's spooky. Also, thanks for reminding me that being sad sometimes is basically a part of being human so I guess I'm doing alright 👍

[@wtfjanae]

not me watching this hungover on a wednesday evening

[@mudpika]

the timing of this video is actually kinda scary 😂😭

[@thatyoungcritic]

I find myself feeling alone even in an ocean of people. I know I am cared for but I find it almost unbelievable. A stubbornness takes over, I know all my reasons for happiness but on the odd day I’ll almost erase it all and sink into myself. Being purposely alone. Thank you for your videos, you allow me to further articulate how and why I feel the way I do. Then take that education and help those around me. I’m glad you exist

[@urrealdad76]

That sinking feeling in my heart is the worse

[@salmonmuncher5672]

i love feeling sad. idk everytime i catch myself having a nice time or not being utterly miserable i get this unnerving, sick feeling. i hope i can move past that habit but idk. thanks anyways for everything

[@allyson--]

If you grew up in a chaotic environment or constantly had a dysregulated nervous system, that internal state can become your center point where you return to, even if the situation no longer calls for that

[@mintalpaca7861]

This video did make me realize I am sad all the time but it just seems I've run out of reasons to be sad or cry, I feel like a bag of wasted emotions and issues being dragged against the ground instead of finding a new way to looks at things I've accepted the fact of being dragged down all the time.

[@pra.]

I never thought I had seasonal depression until this winter, thank you for this.

[@FtwXXgigady]

He really released this video on a day I was having these exact feelings. I went on a walk outside to refresh myself and connect back to reality, it helped a lot.

[@estrangedsavant5112]

Unless you have a disorder there's always a reason, even if you don't know it or understand it yet.

[@marialemonskies265]

As someone with Major Depressive Disorder, this still applies too. There’s always a reason but just so buried down hence why therapy helps a lot in uncovering all of those things buried down. There’s always a reason.

[@user-kl8kx7iv1d]

Thank you, Sisyphus for this video. Today I was feeling sad without any particular reason. And after watching your video I can tell that this resonates with me a lot

[@franklsuarez]

Growing up, the goth subculture taught me sadness is just another emotion, is not negative, and can be beautiful.

[@0ffaI]

There is a lot of truth to those words, the easiest experience to point at is crying to music at 3am

[@shesh2265]

"boring contentment" I think being content consistently is a great spiritual achievement, and not boring....

[@Obscurity202]

Who are you bro, can we hang out

[@CheeF_Phetty]

thank you so much, genuinely. lately, I've been so down in the dumps and I don't understand it. it feels like my enthusiasm has taken a nose dive for no reason and since then I've been trying to figure it out in my head. but now that I've seen this video, I feel better just knowing what I have to do.

[@jackdrobny7328]

I'd like you to make more content on the epidemic of seemingly meaningless sadness with no cause. I see a lot of people around me afflicted with it and I think it shows a great void of meaning in our generation. When I read older literature I don't find anything like the sadness of our generation, so it makes me wonder what the cause of this is and what to do about it. Also check out faust if you havent yet

[@alainpbat3903]

Embrace it, friend. Touch the void for a moment.

[@mileshton76]

First, gmorning yall :) Edit: nvm, not quite😔

[@maysonkyer1060]

Something I struggle with is having sympathy for people who feel bad for no reason if a friend tells me that they’re depressed and they don’t give me a good reason I just makes me upset

[@jeremy6844]

Maybe life isn't a giant dopamine drip like the orchestrated efforts of social media and pay to win video games. Maybe we are just here.

[@spencerwoj1887]

I recently have felt overly depressed and anxious for seemingly no reason. I have been really struggling to see the light at the end of the tunnel, and have felt this emptiness eating away at me. Good grades don’t make me feel any better nor does success anymore. I just feel so lost, and like I’ll never not feel this way.

[@Lucknho640]

i love how this basically is a "relax the fuk down and just be sad" really relieving to know there's nothing wrong

[@absol3441]

One of the greatest things i've learned is to find wholeness in sadness and to acept it as a fullfilling emotion

[@jibutae]

how do i stop feeling like thissss id rather be sad for an actual reason :(((

[@locomotiveproductions]

It's different for everyone. Why do you think you feel like this? Just think for a sec

[@gracielagonzalez2993]

Its so sad that so many people can somehow relate

[@ASquared544]

I’ve been having a few spouts of just sudden sadness recently. This video helped a bit.

[@cmmusic4721]

I’ve struggled a lot with trying to define and find the root cause(s) of serious depression I’ve felt in the last year. This way of looking at it has been the only perspective that’s really helped - helped me cope, helped me be comfortable with it, and helped me trust that it will actually be ok, helped me realize that I’m not somehow failing as a human for being this way. You put it more beautifully in this video than I’ve ever heard it before. This is the best video I’ve watched on KZbin in a while!!

[@odontologiaesteticaeharmon1692]

Me too!!! It looks like ir Will never pass but it pass and gets better!!!! There allways hope❤❤❤❤❤❤ WE GOT THISSSS
