Depression: A person can be depressed and not experience sadness. Often times the depressed mood and its accompanying neurochemical changes dulls a person's emotions and your sadness can be buried for a time. Also remember you can either be perfect or you can be human. So far I have never met anyone who has achieved perfection but many cause undue stress trying.
