feeling very sad....

[Looking_in105]

Hi,

I'm just wondering if others feel very or extremely sad/depressed when saying 'goodbye' to things? For example, today I had my final class at uni, and even though I didn't really talk to anyone I still feel really, really sad like a friend or family member has died. Sometimes I get this feeling even when I dislike something, like going to class for instance.

I even get this feeling when a reality tv show (like survivor) ends, like I'm losing my best friends or something (so lame, I know).

In the past, this has kept me from leaving jobs I've really hated, just so that I wouldn't experience this very depressing feeling...

Anyone relate?

I may not have experienced things so extremely, but I know I was bored some summers at home too.. (and missed class/mates even if I really kinda hated school otherwise )

Maybe it helps if you have something cool to look forward to? Maybe new books to read/movies to watch/plans with relatives/events to go to/volunteering or such?

its a nice 'sadness' that often brings a nice reflection, and missing it... i guess it means a good thing just ended. atleast it means it was 'good'

I get the same way. Thinking back on the times when I had to leave my friends. Friends I'd never speak to again.
I can relate to watching a good show too. You watch the whole series, and then it's over and it's pretty depressing. The laughing, tears, and stories are gone.
It's because when you have to say goodbye, you realize you're alone once again..

Goodbye's are hard becuase you enjoyed the timeyou spent with that person, place, or thing.

When I don't get the chance to say goodbye, I say good riddance.

You may want to tell yourself that this is normal and you accept it. But also tell yourself that life moves on and you have to move with it.

Remember - change starts when you change your way of thinking.

yea it seems like people are more nice on the last day and it pisses me off it just shows you care about people which is good

No, it's the opposite for me. I always feel a sense of relief when I say goodbye to things, even things I've enjoyed. I used to have the habit of deleting my online profiles just to purge the information away...I know, it sounds odd. I just feel like everything is a burden and I want to be free.

In some ways I can relate to this, if a series ends or I complete a video game etc, I often get more upset by it that I know I should. However, on the last day of lessons, lectures etc, when other people are usually upset because they will no longer see eachother, I am usually the first out the door and the only one feeling happy; although throughout the day I would be filled with disgust that the other people are close enough to their fellow peers and lucky enough to actually be saddened by it. :')

Not always, but I felt the same way when I finished up university. I remember feeling sad when I last left the building I spent most of my time in. After my graduation there was a reception with food and drinks. I didn't stick around too long because my dad is impatient and rushed me out of the there. I didn't want to leave, but I didn't make a big deal of it. It's not like I was talking or saying goodbye to anyone. I was just sad that it was all over because I didn't get as much as I could have out of the whole experience. I worked my ass off and still didn't get the grades I wanted. I never made any friends while I was there. As soon as we left I just felt completely lost. It was like, ok, what now? It was so depressing. And here I am, two years later, still wondering what now?
