Answer 2

If you look hard enough, you can usually find a reason. Some little thing or big thing that's affecting you. It's natural to feel blue once in a while. If you feel tired, stressed, if the weather is grey & gloomy, any number of factors could conspire to bring you down. If you feel sad all the time now & unable to enjoy anything you may suffer from depression & should talk to someone about it. Sometimes fatigue, stress & sleep deprivation can feel like depression though. Also a poor diet & lack of exercise can drag you down...SAD or seasonal affective disorders affects many people around this time of year. It's caused by a lack of sunlight. It's cold, dark & grey out. Can make us feel pretty bleak (unlike summer when it's warm & we're bathed in sunlight)! Whatever it is just realize, this too shall pass. Do something to cheer yourself up. Treat yourself to something you enjoy. Watch a comedy (laughter can help snap you out of it). Take care.

Answer 3

It's entirely possible to feel depressed or down for no reason, sometime's it's hormonal (depending on your age) or maybe you need to get out and exercise or talk to people. I know it's hard though, having said that, I used to get it a lot.

Try turning on some loud music and dancing around like a psycho, I find that helps, heh.

Sometimes there is a reason, but you would usually know what it is.

Answer 4

biological clock--
Anyone who has traveled has experienced jet lag—that groggy realization that while your day is beginning in Washington, D.C., the night you just left in San Francisco is hardly over. Jet lag is an inconvenient reminder that the body is set to a 24-hour clock, known by scientists as circadian rhythms, from the Latin circa dies, "about one day." An internal biological clock is fundamental to all living organisms, influencing hormones that play a role in sleep and wakefulness, metabolic rate, and body temperature.

Disruption of circadian rhythms not only affects sleep patterns but also has been found to precipitate mania in people with bipolar disorder (manic-depressive illness).1 Other types of illnesses also are affected by circadian rhythms; for example, heart attacks occur more frequently in the morning while asthma attacks occur more often at night.2,3

Although biological clocks have been the focus of intensive research over the past four decades, only recently have the tools needed to examine the molecular basis of circadian rhythms become available. Early studies pointed to an area of the brain, the hypothalamus, as the location of the circadian pacemaker in mammals.4 More recent findings show proteins called cryptochromes, located throughout the body, are also involved in detecting changes in light and setting the body's clock

Answer 5

It's called melancholy. Being sad, depressed-gloomy;reflective and questioning... I become this way when the weather starts to change. It eventually fades though. But, if it stems from something deeper,it may be depression. If that is the case, it could be physical or mental, go see your doctor for that. You could have a thyroid problem or it just may be a lousy time.
Hope this helps clear up up your question. Thanks for reading my answer.

Answer 6

It is common if you don't get enough direct sunlight. There is something in the front of your brain that needs usually 1.5 hrs of sunlight a day. In places where it rains alot or is cloudy, some people get a device that emulates sunlight. Here is a good link that explains it.
