I can't really explain it, but sometimes I get really sad. The thing is though, is that at the time these sad feelings come up is at wonderful times! Even when things are just right, when everything is in place and its just good, these feelings can come. Then it gets really hard because people are always asking, "are u depressed or something?" NO! Im not! Baruch HaShem I'm so happy! I will admit that I dont smile enough. When I am happy I wont always show it. I just feel content and just soak it in. Ive been told I dont laugh enough, which kills me every time someone says it. It hurts me that I'm hurting my friends by not smiling from ear to ear. (I actually just took upon myself to really smile at people and to greet people, which is definately helping). I do get sad sometimes so I can recognize the emotion of sadness. This sadness though is different. Its like an overwhelming powerful feeling that just takes over me and pulls me down. Its so hard for me to handle, especially since it comes at the worst of times.. Is it normal to randomly just feel - really really sad for no obvious reason?

To rocksdontfly - I've had something similar in the past. The way I see it now, is that deep down I was unhappy even though I didn't want to acknowledge it, so I blocked it out. But when I was in a situation when something good was happening and I saw everyone around me being really happy, the sadness inside of me welled up and turned into self pity then depression. If everyone else is so happy, what's wrong with me. For me, it was because I was in a bad situation and needed out of it and time to heal.
To Struggling Teen - It's possible it's depression where there's an actual chemical imbalance in the brain, or depression from a situation you're in. If you're in a perfectly healthy situation, I'd say it's the first one, and you should try to get help. If you're in a bad place it's possible that it's both or just the second one. Either way, is there anyone older than you that you can talk to?

It doesnt help to talk?
Here, we can think a while and research and come up with something to say. Outside, you can try someone with experience, who already knows what to say, and dont push people away.
I try to talk it feels good to talk to just let it out even if someone doesn't hav advice but everyone pushes me away...I don't know its weird..
