There are numerous reasons for feeling blue, or low in spirit. Some feel blue after seeing an old building in utter neglect. A friend of mine used to feel blue around his holidays. A few others feel so because life did not go as per plans. Still, some others feel down as they have worries about money matters. All these feelings are ephemeral in nature and are just like passing dark clouds. They don’t last long, unlike depression.
Blue or sadness?
So, how come a color like blue has come to signify a low state of mind? The noun blues, meaning “low spirits,” was first recorded in 1741 and may have come from blue devil, a 17th-century term for a baleful demon, or from the adjective blue meaning “sad,” a usage first recorded in British poet Chaucer’s Complaint of Mars in 1385.
When emptiness and despair take hold and won’t go away, it may be the first sign of depression. Unlike the temporary “blues”, the lows of depression make it difficult to function and enjoy the life as one would have done earlier.
Blues don’t last
Generally, the feelings of blue pass.
Depression Haunting!
However, if the low mood begins to interfere with routine lifestyle and continues for over a couple of weeks and keeps revisiting for several days at a time, you or someone close to you could be suffering from depression. So there is a thin dividing line separating blue from depression.
