Taking a break from an assignment because your simply too sad to continue at that point of time. This results in a "sad break" where you may just cry for 20 minutes, lay there in a big blanket and eat chocolate, watch cat videos on YouTube or all of the above. What you do during your sad break is up to you.
"Hey man, are you okay?"

"Yeah man, just taking a sad break before I start the next paragraph"
