Tristitia - Melancholy
Tristitia is not simply sadness. It is the underlying noise. The heaviness that remains, even when nothing specific is hurting. No acute crisis, no drama – just a quiet, permanent decline.
This category deals with melancholy that does not disappear just because you ‘actually have no reason’ to feel that way. With the dark side that is always there, even when there are bright moments. They come. And they go. Tristitia remains.
This is not about pity or pathologisation. It is about soberly naming a condition: deep, persistent sadness that settles in thoughts, images and words. Not a standstill like with acedia. More like a slow pull downwards.
