It's Okay to Cry

Usually when you see someone crying the in corner, it’s seen as weakness.  Many people try to hold back their tears in fear they will be ridiculed or judged. However, CRYING IS OKAY. Not going to lie, I cry almost every day. (Which may be a little excessive, but I don’t mind it.) It might only be a tear or two, but it I still cry. When I’m really, really emotional my crying will be a lot worse. Seriously, crying is okay!

Crying, along with laughing from my previous post, can actually be healthy for you. For one, when you cry your tears help you to see better and they clean out bacteria in your eyes. Also, crying can help to fix your mood. This happens by lowering a possible high manganese level, which would originally cause anxiety, stress, and irritability. Even more, tears are the most beneficial for you. They help to clean out your nose and your eyes. If enough tears get into your nose, it can loosen up mucus and help clean your nose of bacteria.  It might sound very technical and confusing, but it’s just how the body works. In all, crying has health benefits that will allow you to feel more at ease if you need to cry.

                

           Many people bottle up their emotions and they become a ticking time bomb until they blow up. Crying can help to relieve these bottled up emotions. Crying every now and then will help to feel better before completely blowing up. It is very unhealthy to keep everything to yourself so my advice is to just cry it out.

            Crying is a way that I cope with my problems majority of the time. I cry when I’m happy and when I’m sad. When I know I need a really good cry I will take a long, hot, and relaxing shower. If you’re a person who is afraid to cry, just give it a try sometime. You might actually feel better in the end.

*Sometimes a good cry is just what you need to release all the hurt you have built up inside.*

Keep Calm & Cope On!
