Have you ever had a day with unexplained sadness? For those who probably suffer from depression, this is a common occurrence. My husband thinks I tend to suffer from a mild form of depression though it is not typically so bad that it affects my day-to-day life. I feel like I have a spell over me that will make me sad.

But today was one of those days where I found I woke up feeling melancholic, upon reflection there was honestly no reason for me to feel any sadness. On times like this, I tend to just ride it out knowing I will probably feel fine by the next day. I also try not to judge myself too harshly if things don’t get done. On days like this, we might just not enough energy to get things done, only have the energy to get through the day.

I tend to play the music that I know relaxes me or watch TV shows that I know help me to destress on days like this, today I have tried to focus on the tiny things that I came across that made me happy today. It’s great how all of those tiny little things can just add up and even though your sadness might not be completely gone it’s no longer dominating your day.

How do get through days like this? I can imagine for some you just don’t and it’s just a matter of surviving.
