Why do I feel worse after crying?

Sometimes crying can actually let more emotions out that you realised, it’s good to cry but if you find it hard then pick certain times to cry, maybe at home in the evenings

Often because you are seeing the action of crying as a negative thing, or a sign of weakness. Or alternatively entering the action of crying thinking it must definitely make you feel better; thus putting pressure on it rather than letting it be a therapeutic process. Instead allow crying to happen naturally, don't force it but don't avoid it either. Allowing ourselves to feel and let our emotions happen naturally is the healthiest thing we can do, and accepting them is the imperative. It is all about balance - supressing is unhealthy but so is pressuring. You are doing great my love, just be you.

I feel worse after crying because I got to a level of vulnerability that makes me feel weak. People associate tears and emotions with weakness. No one likes to be vulnerable because then you are enabling yourself to be judged, the point of needing advice or a hug or being forced to need something that someone else is giving and that alone feels worse than crying. Maybe overreacting to the point of tears. You let “it” get to you. There’s a million reasons why people feel worse after crying. Judgement, fear and weakness are my 3 biggest at the moment.

Well, i find this question a little tricky. There are both sides to crying. In most scenarios, Crying had actually made me feel better if it was a deeply hurtful situation. It is sort of the only defense mechanism i possess. Moreover if i had cried around people who trust me, it doesn't make me feel awkward. However crying in front of less known person, sometimes can leave a lot of embarrassment behind. In fact, It would be totally embarrassing to face that person altogether. Apart from that aftermath of crying also includes headache and sore eyes 😋

Because tears are so valuable to people I think and tough things only could make people cry so it's really so emotional and so deep, I guess it's normal to feel bad after crying and not just get off with it or say that things will be okay and you have to move forward, I believe happiness is highly reached and there is a lot of things that could possibly make you feel broken and that is my personal view about it for example if you worked hard to get something and you were step away and then it all came down you would definitely feel bad.

Sometimes you can feel worse after crying, because it makes you realize, how hard a situation is or was. We often block things out and when we feel them, we confront ourselves with their reality. But feeling these things and think about them is a very important part of feeling better and processing everything. It gives us the opportunity to feel what we really feel and see, what it is really like. It is a situation where we do not hide behind anything. In my eyes situations where anybody, or myself cries are very "pure" and important!

it’s no secret that crying is a way to help release stress.. although depending on the individual, some may feel numb, angry or even more upset after crying. everyone has a different way of reacting, and those who may feel ‘worse’ after crying, might feel as if they’re weak, or not strong enough to keep their feelings hidden (in my opinion at least). many people choose to cry when no one is around, that way, they’re allowed to be vulnerable to themselves, whereas others can’t help but to cry in front of others. either way, it’s okay to cry.. having these mixed thoughts and feelings shows that we all are human.. and that we FEEL something. a ton of people are hurting.. and are trying their best to contain themselves for others, and especially for their own sake. however there are times when they’re drained of their efforts.. or that no one is really seeing how much of a battle they’re dealing with everyday. crying allows us to express our unsaid words.. we may feel because we want to do more than just ‘cry’, but at the same time.. there’s no clear answer we can jump to.. except to just.. cry.

Crying does not always mean that we are free from what you feel. That's a process towards that goal, but you still need to talk about your issues. To talk and to understand that nothing is permanent. Everything will change and nothing will be the same as it was. After you talk and you express your feelings you will understand that you should let go everything that is making you feel bad. Nothing matters more that your mental health. And you should always appreciate yourself and to value yourself. Crying is good to release all the negative you have inside of you but that's just the first step. Don't feel bad.

Crying makes it real. It's easy to feel like you have a grip on things when you're "calm" or "collected". But the moment the first tear escapes you, it becomes reality. Before you know it there's a puddle of a very, very real issue. And maybe you feel worse because somehow it feels it's out of your control. Out of your grasp. But crying is the first and the most important part of healing. Once you begin crying, and then you've allowed yourself to accept the release of emotions you've likely been bottling up, you're more likely to have a different outlook on your problem to begin with.

After crying you might feel relieved, but you also might feel numb, angry, anxious or sad. Everyone's response to certain situations is different and it's okay and valid to respond the way you do. A reason why you might feel worse is also because crying is mentally very exhausting. It could help to eat something, drink some water or take a nap. You could also prefer to get a distraction. Like watching your favorite show or listening to some music. Some people recharge by talking to or seeing their friends. It takes time to find out what helps the best for you.

Whilst crying is a great outlet, it can be exhausting. There are wave, upon wave, upon wave of emotion happening and trying to get your emotions in sync proves troublesome. Crying brings the real issues out and to the surface so we can deal with the problems. Prioritising these problems is the next step and working out what is the most important to be dealt with. By prioritising the problems we can get a sense of relief as the heavier issues are dealt with and taken off our plates. This reduces our stress immensely and our sense of worry can subside.

It could mean that you have not yet resolved your immediate emotional distress concern. Usually, crying allows your body to release stress and lowers blood pressure. In this case, it could be that you are far too overwhelmed to the point that crying is just an emergency outlet. Do not worry; you are not alone. One recommendation is that after crying, you should seek a listening ear (for example, talk to one of the beautiful listeners in 7cups!). Because once you finished crying, you will be much more clear-headed to think about your problem more reasonably. And you will be on your way to recovery.

Feeling worse after crying is completely normal, you just finished letting go all the weight you had inside yourself, and after crying it can make you feel exhausted, drained, or even worse, but after some time you will start to feel better! I see problems and myself like a bottle of water im the bottle of water or the glass of water, and every time I face a problem its like they just added water to my glass/bottle and when there's just to much water and I can't hold more water anymore, the water overflows the glass/bottle and I represent this by crying, and after crying, I feel drained and empty and it will take some time for the bottle to be the same and look good!

Crying can really provoke you to a place in your emotions that you don't typically dwell in. A place that allows you to really dive into the root cause of your pain. Sometimes, the answer is not what we want to hear: it's a lot to process, and it's extremely personal. Often times, it may even make us feel too aware of our faults - the mistakes we've made, the guilt we hold, and beyond. But sometimes, it's where we need to start to be able to effectively rebuild ourselves. The first step to healing from anything bad experience is to acknowledge - and crying can bring us to a point to do just that.

Sometimes I feel worse after crying because all of the negative, sad, or mad feelings that I had harbored are now free. For me personally when it's usually a result of a load of feelings that I've had from some time that are finally being released. This is a scary time for me because I tend to run away from sad or negative feelings. When I cry it creates the reality of how I truly feel which can either make me more sad, scared, or disappointed. It's hard to see positivity in crying but many believe its better to get the feelings out then to let them stay in.

I totally understand how one can feel worse after crying. I used to struggle with crying and expressing my emotions in general. I thought it was a sign of weakness. But I have learned that it is quite the opposite. Allowing yourself to cry is a sign of strength and growth. Instead of being upset or anxious after a good cry, try looking back on your fallen tears in a positive way. Think to yourself, "Wow, I am so happy I let all of that out". I know such a thing can be difficult, but be proud of your tears!! They are something to celebrate.

Well, I don't know why are you crying, but maybe you feel that cry it's like showing that you are weak... it can happen in an unconscious level. But it's nothing wrong with it! Actually crying can be a healthy way to show that you are sad or angry considering that you are not harming anyone including yourself, it's a valid scape to your emotions. The idea that crying is wrong or a lack of strength it's a completely mistake, the key it's not to hide our feelings but dealing with them in a proper way. Try to figure out what are your thoughts while you're crying be aware of them to be able to change it if it's necessary.

Unfortunately, a lot of people still feel that crying is a sign of weakness. This is perhaps the reason why many of us feel even worse after crying. However, the truth is that it takes courage to face your emotions and let it out. Crying is cathartic in nature,it is a process of emotional unburdening and something that all of us must not shy away from doing when required. It is likely to take off a lot of weight from our chest. It is a sign of strength, of knowing yourself and valueing what you feel. You do not have to feel worse after crying.

Crying is a perfectly natural response to deal with negative emotions. In the past, I was guilty of viewing crying as a negative thing and tried to suppress how I felt. If I did still end up in tears, I would find myself in vicious cycles of crying because I was crying, if that makes sense. However, I now frame this in a very different way. Tears are a release mechanism to stop the emotional pressure building up beyond control. We shouldn’t be afraid or upset because we are crying. Instead, we should focus on dealing with whatever stimulus made us feel overwhelmed in the first place. That we can control and hopefully feel better in the future.

It could be because you're actually becoming aware of the emotions you were trying to push away before crying. It might feel bad in the first place but this is actually a good thing dont worry 🤗 When you do the emotional work (through maybe cognitive behavioural therapy or meditation) everything will feel lighter and you were thankfull that you entered the path of crying because that was your road to healing in the first place 😊 Sadness can be an indication that you're still ruminating over old things. When you let yourself feel all the feelings intensely that feeling will probably disappear also. Because when you become conscious of what you're feeling and see that's just a feeling impermanent and not a solid unshakable truth they will disappear most of the time If not always

every one feels emotional different ways. sometimes crying making u feel worser can just be a sign that your letting go off stress and emotions that have been building up, the release of these sad emotions can be overwhelming. Just remember that crying can be a healthy thing, as your letting yourself be sad for a moment. Aslong as u know how to pick yourself back up after everytime you feel like crying, that’s the main thing. I sometimes feel worse after crying as well but if you truly think about it, after the years are dry, the worries seems a bit lighter and also your mood.

You feel worse after crying because you are triggered due to stress and anxiety, caused due to intense emotions. The emotional-buildup causes the body to release hormones like cortisol, which stimulate neurotransmitters in the brain, causing physical reactions such as crying, headaches, and runny noses. Obviously though, it depends on your situation and how YOU feel, so i cannot tell you exactly. This is more brief and scientific information. A tip from me: if you feel worse after crying, talk to someone that truly makes you happy. There is a word that captures how talking helps—catharsis. Talking leads to a catharsis, which means a feeling of relief. Talking helps, trust me.,

Crying is a means of releasing your emotional frustrations. However, it might not be beneficial to you the way it helps others. Sometimes, crying does not solve your problems and therefore you feel worse after you have cried. Crying has a negative stigma as well, however, sometimes it's an appropriate emotional response. Most times after you have cried your level of fatigue likely depends on how strenuously you cried. More vigorous crying could lead to hyperventilation, which could reduce the amount of oxygen to your brain. This would also lead you to feel more drowsy. You might want to find an emotional release outlet that works best for you such as journaling, or speaking to a friend or relative about what you are going through.

Crying is a physical expression based on our emotions and may show what we are feeling on the inside. Despite being something often incited by pain or sadness, there may be times where crying is simply a form of expression and nothing more. If this is the case then it would explain why sometimes crying does not alleviate the negative emotions that incited it. Rather it is just how we outwardly express our inner emotions. Everyone is different and every reason to cry is unique in it's own way. What may work for one person might not always help another

Crying can be a healthy coping mechanism as it releases built up negative emotions and calms the body by lowering blood pressure. Crying also releases stress related hormones such as cortisol, which can leave you feeling emotionally drained and tired afterwards. The release of these hormones can also cause headaches and runny noses, which can make you feel worse. The reason you may feel worse could also be due to emotions you are experiencing, perhaps you consider yourself to be weak for crying. It also does not fix the issue you are facing, which may lead to feelings of frustration.

Crying brings out the emotions that make us sad. When someone cries, the emotions causing them to cry come out. It's not until they have experienced those emotions, that they can begin to feel better. Crying is a healthy part of the grieving process, and someone should not be ashamed to do it, because it is natural. My grandmother used to tell me when I was younger to get all my tears out, to cry it all out so I could feel better. I didn't feel better right after, but once I experienced the emotions that brought me there, I felt better.

i believe its because your emotional barriers have given way. The emotional barriers were holding back your tears .Keeping the hurt and pain you felt contained inside. so fighting back the pain you were actually denying the problem. When you could no longer keep the hurt and pain back . The tears fell and released the hurt and pain you had been holding back. Releasing the emotion and again you had to face the pain you held onto. confronting and admitting the reality of the problem. Admitting to your true feelings ,leaves you feeling vulnerable and exhausted. IT is the only way to move forward .

Perhaps the crying came from thinking about a negative situation, so while crying may feel cathartic at first, the situation hasn't been resolved so the negative feelings remain. In order to feel better, it would be worth either talking to someone about the problem or writing it down. These are both ways to make the situation feel less overwhelming. You could also think about the feelings that arise when you think about the issue and look for resources to help you manage them emotions. For example, I used to feel anxious about going to school so I looked at the "self care for anxiety" page on mind.org

Personally I think we feel worse after crying because we've only gotten our emotions out but haven't processed them. I know processing my feelings help me when I feel upset and cry. Talking and evaluating why im crying causes me to feel better. Recently I was crying to the point of almost throwing up, and I still felt hurt maybe worse after. I decided to find help and talk with someone about my feelings to process them and that's how I became a listener. Being listened too helped me feel better and come to a conclusion on what I can do to continue feeling better.

Crying exerts a lot of energy because we often have increased breaths and our hearts are racing. Because of the energy our body exerts to cry, we often find ourselves feeling tired and physically exhausted afterward. This isn't abnormal, and it's very common to feel this way after crying. You're using so many muscles and there are so many thoughts racing during a good cry that it seems almost as if our bodies are completely out of juice after. What has always helped me feel better after crying is taking a nice bath or drinking a cup of coffee just to re-orient myself and get a little bit of that energy back. If it's just before bed, that lack of energy in your body from crying can send you right off to sleep which is also useful!
