Yes. It's normal. Why? Simply because you're human. Not all days are happy days. There are also days where we feel lonely and dying inside.
We grow in a society where crying and feeling lonely is a sign of weakness. We hide all these feelings because we're scared of what other people might think about us. We allow our surroundings to dictate what we should feel and not. I know that feeling. Every time you close your eyes, you can feel the tears falling from your eyes. You want to share your thoughts and feelings with someone, but you can't. You can't explain those things running on your mind. Why? Because you don't know it either. You just started feeling sad or lonely. The present situation also makes you more vulnerable to experience all these kinds of emotions and again, let me remind you that it's normal.
So, how can we all surpass these problems?
First, you need to endure and embrace the feelings. Feel the pain. Cry if you can. It's not easy to open up to someone because you don't know where to start your story. That is why it is okay to fight your battle alone. However, if you feel like you need help, don't hesitate to ask your family or your friends to spend some time and listen to you. Nothing beats having somebody listen to you wholeheartedly.
The other thing you can do is to look for something that might drive your attention. It can be watching movies, listening to music, or eating your favourite food. Lastly, don't forget that there is God up there waiting for you to call and share your pain with him. Sometimes, in these trying times, we fail to call His name and ask for help. We should learn to think of God first whenever we are happy or sad. Above all, He is the only one who can understand us. You may ignore or forgot Him but, God will never leave you. Cry to Him. Talk to Him in prayer. He listens.
So, don't worry too much and fight all these battles with a strong faith and heart. Again, it's normal to have a bad day. It is normal to feel like you’re carrying heavy loads on your shoulder. You don't want to take responsibility anymore. You feel tired of your current situation. Take a breath and take a break from your life. Allow yourself to see the light in every darkness. You may experience the downside of life, but it is just temporary. Again, we are all human. All these feelings are normal.
