Be helpful: Sadness often comes from feeling alone, unconnected, and unproductive. Turn your attention away from your sadness and on to other. Try to help them, even in some minor way, to relieve their difficulties. You will feel much better.

Feel blah, living day-to-day, lack zest for life, feel more "empty" and unmotivated than sad. Could this be a symptom of depression?
