    The urge to cry often accompanies sadness, so you might experience tightness in your chest and throat. It's also common to feel tired or run-down, experience a decrease in your energy level, feel lethargic, or want to stay in bed all day. You might find that you don't get pleasure out of activities you once enjoyed and that you feel empty inside. The urges that accompany sadness are often about isolating yourself and withdrawing from others.
