You don’t ever have to apologize for feeling sad.
You aren’t being too sensitive.
You aren’t imagining things or being overdramatic.
You’re being true to yourself by honoring your emotions, and that is never something you have to feel ashamed of.
Whether you have a need that isn’t being met, an old wound that’s been reopened, a person in your life who is making you feel small, a painful memory of something from the past, or an emptiness from the loss of someone you care about—there is always something underlying our sadness, and whatever it is, it’s important and valid.
Whatever it is, it deserves to be expressed and felt .

    It’s true, we should not apologise for feeling sad. It’s natural to feel sad, much like being happy

Thank you for reading, liking, and commenting to my posts.  It is very appreciated.

I am currently raising money to pay for ongoing psychotherapy. I am a survivor of complex trauma, I have dissociative identity disorder, and complex PTSD.  Therapy can be very expensive.

If you feel like donating to my fund you can donate using pay pal. My pay pal email for donating is:

Don’t feel you have to, there is no pressure, but I’m grateful for any donations that are received.

Again thanks for visiting!
