Feel sad.

Lots going on but I'm dealing ok with it all now I think, but feel sad and I feel ok that I feel sad... AIBU?

Provided that feeling sad is not slipping into unable to cope or function then it can be OK.

If something sad has happened then feeling sad is a reasonable response. Sometimes, acknowledging and feeling an emotion is the best way of dealing with it.

YANBU.

Most people are so scared of feeling sad but it's a perfectly reasonable and healthy emotion. Sometimes I need a day of wallowing and it does me the world of good- if I fight the feeling I end up feeling much worse for much longer.

Accept the feeling, and it will pass. Make sure you look after yourself.

Life can be overwhelming, hope you feel better soon
