ELI5: Explain Like I'm 5

Sadness

Sadness is a feeling we all experience from time to time. It's like when your favorite toy breaks: it can make you feel so sad! Sometimes sadness comes and goes, like when you make a mistake or when something bad happens. Other times it is more long lasting, like when someone close to you moves away. It's important to remember that feeling sad is normal, and it just means that your brain and body need you to take some time to do something that makes you feel better. Talk to a friend, go outside, or find something to do that you know makes you happy!
