    Well - probably the ONLY way to deal with an unknown sadness is to make it known. A lot of memories we have of our childhoods are repressed - "forgotten" - pushed out of your mind. You have NO idea anything like that went on!

    But obviously something powerful has been 'forgotten" to keep pulling you down - something sad - abandonment by parents perhaps - fighting - unhappiness - poverty - alcoholism. These things can't hurt us as much when we remember and can understand them.

    When I'm down I just watch my favorite comedy routines or parodies on youtube. Also try to stay busy moving or doing something to get your mind off of the sadness. Think happy thoughts or hang with some friends. Hope this helps.
