Crying helps me feel as though I’ve cleansed my self, in a way. I feel like I can see clearer, and I feel lighter. It is healing.

There was a lot of tears for when Trump lost (and all the recounts and fraud lawsuits) and will be more tears from you clowns in January so you should brace yourself for more of those Trump supporting tears as you tear down your Trump poster and flags. It’s okay, crying should make you feel better in theory, but probably not.

@Rhythm See. Told you crying doesn’t make you smarter. I don’t worry about clown games like politics. I don’t need anything from government…. that wants to pay for your useless degree…. because you were too stupid to read and understand a contract… but still allowed to vote.

God gave both women and men, and many animal species, tear ducts in His infinite wisdom, grace and grand design.
I liken a good, hard cry to an emotional fire hydrant.
It lets the stress steam off on our pillows, in tissues or toilet paper, the cuffs of our sleeves or fingertips, the back of our hands, knees, in the car, or in our own private personal safe space or place.
We wake up the next day/morning, feeling emotionally drained and spent.
Then, we rise again,
from our own tears and life’s ashes, to move onward, upwards and forward, facing the new day… the next of many to come, and face, one step at a time, as we all take another and yet another step toward our own personal destinies.
Hope this helps someone out there. Truly.
To anyone?

I am a man who cries. When I’m mad, and I can’t fight or flight (as a young man I fought a lot. As an older adult I learned fighting is 99 % of the time not an option), I will cry. However, I also cry when I’m happy. At naturally beautiful things. A large crowd cheering in unison after the national anthem as fighter jets roar in the skies above celebrating the pride of country and saluting or nation’s troops, powerful music, when my son squeezes me as he rests his head on my shoulder. An interesting phenomenon about tears: under a microscope the salt crystals of sad and happy tears will form differently. I am a man who proudly cries today, whereas when I was younger I would be embarrassed. It’s a natural component to being emotionally sound. Don’t hold back your tears, it’s a sign of strength not weakness.

When I was married to a rage aholic, I wish it had occurred to me at the time that he was sad. Strong displays of anger tends to result in me feeling angry, which doesn’t make it any easier to consider that the other person might be sad or overwhelmed.

I’m a male in my mid 20s and a lot of times I say “this feels like an appropriate time to cry” and I feel tears generating in my ducts but it just doesn’t come out. In the last 6years I’ve cried about 3 times 1. Watching the movie inside out 2. Watching the movie All the Bright Places and 3. On a small-medium dosage of psilocybin ; every time I cried it felt great and like a big release of tension throughout my body but I do not know how to get there organically

You’re right! It really does change your mood and lift your spirits back up again. Not right away but next day you’ll feel your old self again. It gets all those crappy thoughts out and dumped. I’m a guy, and I don’t care what anyone says, it really does help when things are getting too much. 😀

I had a nonstop migraine for over 2 months. It was frightening and unbearable. I finally broken down one evening and cried for 30 minutes, deep balling cry. I swear my migraine stopped. I as was in such disbelief and went to bed, woke up and migraine was indeed gone. No joke
No Dr. Could ever explain why crying like last stopped such a terrible migraine

Thank you for sharing this I was almost kind of desperated because my mom always told me not to cry over everything. And after that, I always hold my tears even untill this time right before I watch this. Honestly, I just get more and more desperate to hide those feelings. But today I won’t run away and my tears is a normal thing. And mood-swinging is also a normal thing.
