Sadness Vs Depression A Difference?

Sadness Vs Depression is there a difference?

You would think that, these 2 are the same in a sense. However, both are a little different, but still move side by side. I had some thoughts pop up the other day about it. When I was thinking about how people will show to have it all, and somehow still show sadness.

What I basically said to self was: ” You can have all the money, material things, a gang of gifts family friends all that.” And yet, there still seems to be something missing. Always that feeling of sadness, especially around this time of the season.

Can you imagine why? Does one somehow lead to the other? And lemme make sure to throw this link on here too. About how it hits black people and communities on a whole different level. What I just found on a site called BHM is an article post titled: “Silent Pain: Black Men and Depression”  something I just found after finishing this post.

And after reading some of it, it’s showing to prove that. I’m right about damn near ALL that I mentioned below. Take this for example: “A lot of our (Black People’s) depression comes from our situation as a people.” And it also touches on how black women are at even more risk when it comes to depression.

Sadness Vs Depression Is There A Difference

I don’t even really think it matters when it comes to the difference of sadness vs depression, both have a impact on you. When they pop up for whatever the reason may be. But, just so you know, sadness is a bit different in it’s nature. Why? Because it’s temporary, you can be sad as a mutha fah due to??????

But that depression hits much different. Sadness vs depression is where you can know the difference, and the difference? Is that, depression is the one that, I think sadness eventually leads up to. But then, could you be depressed first that leads to temporary sadness?

Here’s the big difference, one last truly longer. You might be sad for a little while and then something and or someone helps to sooth the sadness. But what if that moment of sadness continues on, and on? If you’re broke (No Money) to do some things that make you happy, you gone have a feeling of sadness.

Which could change at any given time right? But boaaaaaa….. let that not change along with no job, no income whatsoever. What do you think life for you shall eventually lead up to? Depression. It’s not so real for some people, and a very real reality for others, especially around this time.

What to Do

So know that, I’ve given it to you raw, and like no other, what do you do about it? As I say: “Knowing the difference makes it.” Everyone’s life and lifestyle as well able, mind and health is not the same. Some have more help, love, care and support than others.

It starts with feelings towards something and or things. Trust and know, I know what I’m talking about. Who not more worthy than the one with more experience? Don’t be the type who be on that denial tip, in order to see.

Me and the brethren MC MyD did a song many years ago called: “The Sign” where I say: “You either focused or you flat-line in these dayz of tyme.” So, seeing the signs like whatever is known to be a part of depression. Feelings like being irritable, tired, lack of focus, eating, sleeping issues, unwanted feelings of guilt. And let’s not forget the body aches, anxiety and feelings of worthlessness due to how people play your mind, struggles and time.

And the main one, suicidal thoughts. There are many sad times for me, I even feel it when I do these post, I also find self slipping off into a sense of depression due to??????? Can U Imagine? This is why even when I honestly be wanting to give up on all of this, I strive to keep going. I can’t help but face the thoughts in my head about what it says:

“The Lord is near to the brokenhearted and crushed in Spirit.”

Psalms 34:17-18

EndNote

I think some may get it twisted to why I show to do what I do. Though I could make it ALL about me, it’s not. I strive to deliver this light work in hopes that something said. May help whoever seeks in time. My intent is never to make such long post either, they just end up that way.

I don’t just try, I maybe because I know and get it. There’s so much going on in my head, and that I would like to say! I value life of others as I would like it in return. Because let the truth stand, and be told, I really don’t have to say nor do anything.

I just know Sadness Vs Depression, it all deals in the Spirit, and what you choose to do with this awareness is all on you.
