Lesson Overview

1.12 – When Sadness Lasts Too Long: Sadness becomes more than an emotion when it lingers for weeks and steals your energy, appetite, and interest in life. It starts to feel like a fog that won’t lift. This is when sadness may become depression, and ignoring it won’t make it go away. Talking about how long you’ve felt this way is crucial. Small steps like walking, listening to music, or opening the blinds help more than you think. Professional help and honest conversations make the fog thinner over time. You deserve joy again. Long sadness doesn’t mean weakness—it means your heart needs care, not silence.
