Sudden Wave of Sadness

Does it happen to me alone?

Today I went out for shopping with my cousins. It was a lovely day with lots of laughter, ample selfies, endless gossip, and loads of enjoyment.

We bought some clothes and shoes because weather is changing and now we have to prepare for winter. After completing our shopping, we decided to try a newly opened restaurant. We were not sure about the taste, but fortunately, everything we ordered from menu tasted amazing, especially chicken noodles.

Good food = good mood

In short, it was a perfect girls' day out. I returned home happily and started doing home chores while singing and laughing.

All of a sudden, an emotional wave hit me with negative thoughts and boom I started crying. I don’t know why and when, all this happened in a micro-second.

Gloomy thoughts surrounded me and my mind started pushing me to cry and think that No one loves me, I’m not worthy, I’m living a bad life, I hate everyone, No one understands me, and so on…..

A perfect day ruined by my dark perceptions. Does it happen to you also or is it just me?
