Random moments of sad/empty, but not depressed

Post Reply New Topic

Today I had a random moment of depression.
It just hit me while I was waiting for my mom to finish shopping.
My life might never be the same again (I'm going off to college soon).
I was sad that I was going to miss my old life....but more so, I felt empty.
Like life itself would be over, and nothing could be good anymore.
I am not a cynical person, in fact, I am pretty upbeat.
But it just BAM hit me.
Out of nowhere.
I don't think I am depressed, I don't think I am stressed, I am sort of worried but nothing that I was doing would provoke me to think about college.....it was just BANG, crap, life is over.
Then I kinda just lay on a bench, stared up at the sky, and felt empty for a while.
Has this ever happened to you?
What do you call it?
Again, there was nothing to provoke it....it just happened.
Thanks!

I had a random bit of sadness tonight. I went to send a friend a picture of something I thought she could really use for a big anniversary party she's throwing for her in-laws. I did not send it to her, though, because I went to send it through facebook and found that both she and her husband had unfriended me. This happens, I know. I cull the herd when it gets a little out of hand myself. But she (and he) are still facey friends with my husband and our children. And get this: we live across the street from one another.

Man, do I feel sad. Sad, lonely, and rather embarrassed. I have no idea what I did. It's hard not to take it personally.

So um, yes, I guess a random sadness has been felt by me. And in your case, maybe it's just because it's a transition?
