Hi @sodowninsurrey
Welcome back! I'm sorry you were sad on your holiday! Often times when we are depressed, our body looks for ways to pull us down deeper and stay sad. Let me tag a few other members who may be able to relate and also share their experiences.

Have you been depressed on holiday? Were you able to get out of it? How? What do you say to your travel partners?
Please share an experience to let sodowninsurrey know they are not alone!
Take care,

You can practice mindfulness: One technique that may be helpful is to practice mindfulness. This involves focusing on the present moment and being fully engaged with your surroundings. When you find yourself feeling sad or depressed, try to redirect your attention to what is happening around you. Notice the sights, sounds, and smells, and try to immerse yourself in the experience.

I take each day as it comes, try to have a focus for that day. Today is pretty good, but it gives me a nudge every now and again. H

AmbassadorLizzie when we loss loved ones some people are expecting to grieve in the same way with each bereavement, and are even more upset because they dont. this can be for many reasons, for example it could be the age of the loved one, how close you were to a certain person, how well they physically or emotionally knew a loved one. or lastly some of us may never have met a loved one for many reasons. or if physical events had taken place ,and a loved one could not be viewed by family and friends
this happened me was because, my son and i parted with bad blood between us, and when his baby daughter was born , and died age 50 minutes i was banned from attending her service or internment, her name was Rebecca Jade, but i called her Becky, and i bought her a small headstone and i go to her grave at least once a month with fresh flowers. i will always love my grandaughter, but possibly not as much as my Angel wife or son, who took his own life.?

Suicidal thoughts, not coping, how to get treatment without carrying out my plans?

Hello,
I was on holiday with my family, in the most beautiful of places, Nice, France, and I was so sad and depressed. I hate that depression is so uncontrollable and can hit you at any time. We were walking along the promenade, I was with my loved one, the weather was perfect. I even started to cry. I was crying because it was such a nice moment that my brain was making bad. Why was I not having a good time. Everything was so nice and I was sad, depressed, and realizing this made me even more depressed.
How does someone stop getting more sad and just enjoy the moment?
