Sorry to bring such a negative topic in here but how do Sag deal with depression? Have any of you ever suffered from it?

Sag's are known for their positive attitude, they're known for never really getting too bummed out about anything but obviously depression and anxiety exists in all signs.

I suppose you deal with it like everybody does. But as a sag you might want to put emphasis on sports

and going out doing a lot of activities. That is one of the most common antideppressants and makes you feel good instanty. unless its

a heavy depression then you need professional help, that rarely cant be cured without medication.

I have a sag friend (she had a lot of sag influence too from what I remember), and when she became depressed barely anyone noticed. Idk if it's my cancer influence, but I could sense it and whenever I tried to comfort her, she never expressed her true emotions. She always tried to look positive. And keep in mind this is after had tried reaching out/annoying her about it for months lol.

So, just based on that experience, I'm going to say that sags compensate their own emotional wellbeing for the sake of making others around them happy. From what I've observed they aren't too good with dealing and expressing their emotions, and when they do become depressed it affects them more than most of the other signs because of their aversion to seeking help. It's hard to know when they're upset, but when they are I think it truly eats them alive.

That is the perspective of an outsider though, an actual sag may tell you otherwise.

Yes, from an outsider myself I have noticed the same things. I think my Sag friend trusts me a little more than most, so I have experienced her sadness and she's told me about it. But around other people she makes jokes about it, and herself. But deep down I know she really doesn't find it funny. It's very sad.

Yeah, that is really terrible 😢 I hope she can find peace with herself, and I'm glad she found someone that she can trust.

I know that she wont get help, so I don't know what else to do. :/

We are pretty independent and stubborn individuals. I would just let her know you are there for her and maybe make a suggestion to get help, then just let her make the decision. It is really hard to be depressed, when all you want is to be a true Sag. Good luck to you.

I guess the most you can do is just be there for her. Like, listen to her when she needs it and help her see that it's ok for her to express emotions. Let her know she means a lot to not only you but to everyone around her that she makes happy, and that it's ok if she can't make everyone smile all the time. Maybe try and ask or figure out what makes her not want to get help, without trying to push her into it too. Good luck ❤️

you can say that again, super stubborn 🙂

I have made the suggestion to see a psychologist but she's already been there and says it's useless.

Maybe just suggested that she try another doctor. We do also take risks, so she might take the risk. Use the word risk to, might help even more. If not just be there for her and that is all you can do. :-)

My Sag cousin went through some dark times. Jobless, broke up with her bf who she lived with, was taking care of her grandpa who died shortly after. Just lots of shitty times.

I called her frequently and listened to her vent. Also would pick her up and take her to the beach and we'd vape some herb, drink some bubbly and just ignore the world for a little. I think it may have helped.

I wallow for maybe a 1-3 days then get up and do something. It could be simply remembering to take my vitamins, or make a healthy smoothy, something to get back on a positive footing.Then I'll start thinking about how to solve the problem and go do it.

Yes, I've been depressed. Saturn return years...

Im dealing with it myself. I'm keeping it towards myself. Don't want people to know. I literally cry almost every day in private . I just like things in my life aren't going right. I'm trying to stay positive lord is it hard. I pray everyday & try listening to upbeat music . Some days I feel good. Just taking one step at a time

My sag dad got laid off from his job last October and I have never seen him more depressed. He wallows around a lot and when anyone ask how he's doing he just sighs and says "as good as can be expected". I feel bad for him. He is like 65 and can't find a good job that will hire him. ? I think he is bored.

We hate to be too settled.. We can get caught up in our own thoughts.

I am so sorry you are crying everyday in private!!! It's just been a tough year for a lot of people. You should talk to a friend or your mom about it so that you are not keeping everything so " bottled up". There's no shame in needing a shoulder to cry on from time to time and it feels so good sharing and bring everything into the light. And keep praying, God is faithful!! I'm going to share with you one of my favorite bible verses: it's always darkest before the dawn!!!!!
