Does sadness have a physical feeling to you?

To me, it feels like my chest is a little hollow, like some of the stuff under my sternum was scooped out with a spoon.

    yes, our emotions defiantly link to how we feel physically. usually, when people are sad, their whole energy level is low- so their blood pressure, & heart rate are going to be lower which may effect how we physically feel. Often times when I'm sad I get this sinking feeling in my stomach like someone hit me in the gut. It makes me feel just all around lousy, and usually just makes me feel sadder.

    Well, it depends on the reason behind the sadness. Like if I feel cheated, betrayed, or emotionally hurt by another person I get the same feeling in my chest. It feels like this horrible empty, yet burning feeling inside my chest and pressure in the head. There is definitely physical pain involved.

    When I am sad, the world is gray and awful, and all things that happen are like meaningless rain.

    This rarely happens. I whistle in the rain.
