Random flashes of extreme sadness??

2016-05-13 4:04 am
ever since I was really young I've gotten random short flashes of extreme sadness/emptiness. It lasts only like 5 seconds and in which I stop abruptly doing whatever I was doing kind of on accident I guess? like I cant really control it and I feel empty and numb I guess and I cant think but its really fast and followed with late reactions like "oh no its happening again" but like that doesnt happen till its over and it doesnt happen often but it happens often enough that I recognize when it happens and like I just stay silent and i have no idea what it is and its so weird and anyway lately its been happening a lot more like it used to only ahppen a couple times a year now it happens a couple times a month and its lasting longer and I'm scared itll just get worse and Im too scared to tell anyone but like is this a normal thing? or like a symptom of some disease or something?? I wish I could explain it more but I dont really know how

Years ago I had a GF who was a fundamentalist Christian. I was crazy about her so I went to her Tuesday Night Bible Study and read some stuff and tried on fundamentalist for size, but it really didn't fit me.

But I still learned from the experience. I've looked into a number of religions, just out of curiosity, and I think I've learned something from all of them! In this case, I read a book called 'Spiritual Warfare'. The book was about how The Devil 'attacks' us by giving us negative emotions that seem to come out of nowhere. We'll just wake up one morning feeling angry or frustrated or sad or depressed, and we don't know where it came from, but it makes us do bad things. The cure for this, the book said, was to pray and come to church and do good deeds and vote Republican and so forth.

Well I don't believe in the Devil, I think he's just a 'sock puppet' for our own bad side. But it certainly does seem in my life like sometimes I'm sad, sometimes I'm angry or whatever, and I never know what causes it. Just knowing that these emotions come out of nowhere, that this is just human nature and everyone is like this, helps quite a bit!

I get sad too sometimes--I know just exactly what you're talking about. Sometimes it happens when I remember something that happened a long time ago, sometimes something I did that I regret, or some bad thing that happened that couldn't be helped at the time and certainly can't be helped now!

What helps is just to pull your socks up. Take control of your mind. Try to think of something else, maybe something pleasant, something you're looking forward to.

It depends on if you believe in spirits or the after life, or even energy in general. Because sometimes when a strong spirit is near that carries heavy sadness, it can radiate onto you. This can occur with living people as well.

If this is interfering with your daily life, and it sounds like it is, go see a mental health professional for a complete diagnosis and a solid treatment plan.
