Sadness does not always look dramatic. It can appear as quietness, low energy, or replaying one moment over and over.
Common signs
- You speak less
- Your body feels heavy
- You keep revisiting one scene
How to write it down
- Write what feels missing
- Separate the triggering event from the afterthoughts
- Note what comfort helped and what did not
