You might feel sad for a lot of different reasons - your favorite coffee is out of stock, your bestie has taken a day off from work, you read an unsettling article, or someone spilled wine on your brand new dress.
Sometimes, a seemingly small incident can affect you more than you think. Imagine it’s your sibling's birthday. You are all dressed up, ready with the cake and presents to leave for the celebration. However, you realize that you have a flat tire, so you take a cab instead. Even though you arrive just 10 minutes late, you feel upset during the entire party.

On days when you are feeling low, all you might need is some positivity. Simply reading wholesome posts, hanging out with loved ones, or listening to your favorite song can uplift your spirits.
One of the reasons people wake up feeling grumpy is a lack of quality sleep. Experts recommend that adults should sleep anywhere between 7 and 9 hours every night. Feeling well-rested is essential for our emotional well-being. Lack of good sleep can lead to feelings of worry and anger, among other emotions. It can also lead to decreased cognitive function and increased stress levels.

There are days when even feeling hungry or not eating on time can put you in a sour mood. Gastroenterologist Christine Lee, MD, explains, “When you haven’t eaten for a while, the level of sugar (glucose) in your blood decreases. The low blood sugar may interfere with higher brain functions, such as those that help us control impulses and regulate our primitive drives and behavior.” That is why not having your meals can make you sad and angry.

#11 My Husband Thinks I'm Crazy
I admit a mini cat living room is a bit much for 2 cats, but every eye-roll and "you've lost your mind" comment from my husband and sons is 100% worth it when I see one of the 2 lounging in here. It just cracks me up. Every. Damn. Time. This is BB, she's 4 months old.

Fluctuations in hormones can also affect a person’s mood and sometimes lead to unexplained sorrow. When it comes to menstruation, Julia Sacher from the Max Planck Institute for Human Cognitive and Brain Sciences points out, "We know that estrogen and progesterone have an influence on serotonin levels, which in turn directly affect mood.”
During periods, serotonin, the natural body chemical that controls our mood, drops, making us feel uneasy at times.

#15 Around A Year Between These Photos. It Took Months In A Treatment Center, Three Relapses And Two More Near-Death Experiences But I’ve Been Recovering From Anorexia On My Own
Lately I’ve been struggling with my difference in weight and appearance, wanting to go back to being underweight. But I try to look and remind myself that I felt terrible in the before pic and could barely function. Can’t say I’m a whole lot happier right now but it’s also hard to see the light within the dark. I did the thing and I did it on my own!

People going through puberty also experience hormonal changes. Apart from physical development, people also go through emotional changes during this time. While these hormone shifts are a natural part of growing up, the intensity may vary from one person to another.
As you enter adolescence, you might have strong emotions that you've never had before in your life. You may feel anxious, upset, or lose your temper more than usual.

In life, we all experience some level of stress, but sometimes a particular event can cause higher levels of stress. Excessive stress can cause you to have negative emotions like sadness, anger, and worry. If you’re going through a hard time in your professional life, it might make you question your skills.
This, in turn, might leave you feeling upset for not performing well on a particular project. We shouldn’t be hard on ourselves all the time. Sometimes, it’s best to take a break, relax and reenergize yourself.

The change in season may also affect your mood. When days shorten and temperatures drop, some people might experience winter blues. When it’s freezing outside, you might feel like being cooped up inside the house and not going anywhere. The lack of movement and overall disengagement from doing things are not good for a person’s physical and emotional health.
One should try to include home workouts or go for short walks to uplift their mood during this time. It’s recommended that adults should do at least 150 minutes of moderate intensity activity every week. It means that you should do around 30 minutes of workout daily.

Meet Captain Ruben and his son, First Officer Ruben. Captain Ruben flew with Southwest for nearly 31 years and inspired his family to pursue their dreams of flying too. Not only did his son spend his whole life working to become a Pilot, but his brother and cousin are now Southwest Pilots too! Captain Ruben shared many flights with his family before retirement, including his last flight from Omaha, Neb., to Chicago (Midway) with his son serving in the right-hand seat as his First Officer. Congrats, Captain Ruben, on your well-earned retirement.

Disagreements or fights with a loved one can also hamper your overall mood. When you feel disconnected from people who are close to you, it can make you moody. Resolving the issue with your mother, partner, or friend might instantly make you feel at peace.
As humans we’re wired to focus on negative events far more than positive ones. This can also be the reason why we feel low sometimes. You should consider setting time aside to figure out the real reason for feeling disheartened. In some cases, the reason for your persistent sadness could be deeper.
When factors like depression, trauma, or grief affect your mood, it’s best to visit a doctor or consult an expert. We should not shy away from getting professional help when needed.

But if it’s nothing serious, you can try to move towards happiness by enjoying the wholesomeness around us. Tough times make us value the good things around us even more. We should try being grateful for the little joys in life. Which one of these posts made you smile? Don’t forget to share this with someone who’s having a bad day.

#29 Last Week I Underwent Surgery That Will Probably Change My Life
I’ve been an amputee for four years. Traditional prosthetic sockets would not work well for me, I was able use them for maximum 30 mins. That led me to use wheelchair most of the time. However, I have the same disease in my hands that I have in my feet and my hands have been getting worse the last year. By the time I was up for surgery I was practically stuck in bed with sore stumps and painful hands. This surgery will most likely lead to me being able to walk ALL the time. It’s like a dream, a painful and wonderful dream. It’s called osseointegration and is basically hammering a titanium implant into the bone which I will be able to attach prosthetics to. I’ll be trying my feet on in only two weeks!

#38 About 16 Years Ago, I Made A Best Friend. I Met Him For The First Time Last Weekend
I was 15, living in Norway, and was really into computer games. I met a guy from Amsterdam through Steam (a computer game platform). We became really good friends and played games or watched movies over voice calls together almost every day for a few years. Time passed, and we slowly grew out of our regular routine of playing video games. We continued to stay in contact through Facebook. I ended up moving to the East Coast USA 11 years ago, and then moved to California in 2022. My friend's partner grew up in California, and I received news last Thursday that they had just arrived in California to visit her family. It turns out that they were only an hour away! After convincing my wife that I had to meet this guy, we planned a day trip to Joshua Tree.

#57 A Complete Stranger Bought Me These Beautiful Wheel Covers For My Wheelchair
Back in March, I casually answered a post on the internet asking what you would buy if you had $500 but couldn't spend it on anything you needed.
I had seen these covers earlier in the year, but there was no way I could afford them. I made an offhand comment about how I would get these "because they're pretty and I want to be pretty too".
Out of many people offering various suggestions, a very kind and generous gentleman from America sent me the money (with his wife's approval) to cover the purchase of these Izzy Wheels covers, which are made to order in Europe. It took a while, but they finally made their way to me in New Zealand!
I love them so much! Not only are they super fun, but I no longer get my fingertips caught in the spokes every now and then.

#64 They Didn't Have These When I Was A Kid
I was at my local CVS when I spotted these. For context, I'm a 29-year-old white woman who didn't even realize that black hair was textured differently until high school because every Black Barbie had either White Barbie's hair type or just had plastic on her head. I kind of wish they were at eye level, but it makes sense that they're top-shelf since they're the most expensive. I'm just happy that little Black girls are growing up in a world where they see themselves.

#70 Today I’m Four Years Sober From Alcohol (Timelapse)
Today, I celebrate 4 years of sobriety from alcohol. It’s been a long journey, and I still occasionally crave alcohol, but life is beautiful, I have two cats and a wonderful partner - things I wouldn’t have if I hadn’t given up drinking. I'm not saying alcohol is bad, I'm saying I can't partake in it because it negatively affects my health.
If you’re one of those people who would say, "I'd drink to that," please pour yourself some bourbon whiskey because that was my drink of choice. Sometimes, I miss the burning sensation and the numbness, but life doesn’t have to be like that. If you’re currently struggling, hang in there - it gets better.
In my first year of sobriety, I had the opportunity to return to one of my jobs from before my downfall, and this time, I left on good terms. In my second year, I bought a boat and am currently fixing it up. In my third year, my partner and I adopted a bonded pair of cats. In my fourth year, I adopted a Husky mix from my stepsister after she said the dog was too much for her lifestyle. I love Maya the Husky, and she’s the dog I used to dream of when I was locked up during the pandemic.
Life is so beautiful. I’ve learned that I can’t drink alcohol - it’s not worth the cost of losing everything. There’s help available if you’re really seeking it, but ultimately, you have to make the choice not to give in to temptation.

#94 After Nearly 18 Years Together, It Finally Happened
Myself and my wife had our 12-week doctor visit today as my wife is currently 12 weeks and 3 days pregnant. I am happy to report that mom and baby are perfectly happy and healthy to this point! The doctor remains optimistic and has been incredibly supportive in dealing with some of the concerns and anxieties that the missus and I have both had. This whole experience has been the best kind of overwhelming.
I had lost hope for the future in the last couple of years. With sudden deaths, familial breakups, and life problems, there had been many nights that I prayed to the Lord to take me as I was too much of a coward to do it myself.
Now, I have rediscovered the fire and drive of my youth. I am bound and determined to give this child a happy life. I can’t wait to show and teach them the things that I was never taught or told. I am bound to continue improving my health so that I have a better shot at making it far into adulthood. My number one goal in life now is to someday unleash this kid out into the world educated, confident, empathetic, understanding, compassionate, happy, and kind. I love them so much already. November can’t get here fast enough.

#106 Found These Letters My Mom Wrote When She Was A Little Girl. She Was At Sleepaway Camp
My mom died of Alzheimer’s in 2019. These letters were found at my grandma's house, who just passed away about 2.5 months ago. She was 97 and saved everything, which I am now so thankful for.

#110 A Stranger Paid For Me, Dried, And Folded My Laundry When I Was Completely Overwhelmed With Stress And Anxiety From School And Accidentally Fell Asleep
I was in my last year of university when I decided in my last semester that I would pick up another degree. I was taking 21 hours of classes, and most of them were intense and difficult.
One of these days, I started a small load of laundry in my apartment complex washroom. We only had one washer and one dryer (maybe 20 tenants in the small complex), so if you were one minute late to take your clothes out, you would come back to find them on top of the machine in a soaking (or steaming) pile.
While waiting, I sat down in my apartment to catch up on some projects and was so worn out that I fell asleep for hours, leaving my laundry in the washing machine. I was fully expecting (and okay with) finding my laundry in a soppy heap as I way overstayed my welcome. Instead, I came back to find my laundry dried and folded in a neat pile on top of the dryer. These are quarter-slot machines, so this neighbor also sacrificed $1.25 and went out of their way. No one would have faulted them for leaving the laundry atop the machine, but instead, they took the time to go above and beyond. As I said, I've never forgotten this. I found this sub yesterday, and this was the first thing that popped into my mind, 8 years later. I never found out who it was, but it made me like all of my neighbors a little bit more.

Her EKG was alright and her cardiac enzymes too.
