How do I stop myself from crying?

When something makes me very sad that I cry, I have found that writing in a journal helps me to get out the reasons why I am sad, and set that feeling aside. If it is recurring I can see why I was sad earlier, and see what has changed about that feeling over a period of time. Sometimes it feels good to just let myself cry things out privately. Crying is nothing I think anyone needs to be ashamed of.

Pat your tears dry and remember everything that ever made you smile. It's ok to cry but it's better to smile.

Try to distract yourself as much as you can, watch funny cat videos or a favorite tv show! Smile! :)

Go and get your love. Hug someone that makes you feel secured and cry out loud. Don't supress yourself. Supressing yourself makes you more anxious. Let it out.

I think of the positive outcomes because there always is for each and every problem! If that doesn't help I listen to music or play games.

you can never really stop yourself from crying, once you start crying you cant stop, give it some time, and after you will feel silly that you are crying and then you will go to sleep :P

Inhale for twelve seconds, and then exhale for six seconds. Repeat until you feel more calm,, try and practice self care (a hot shower, rubbing cream on areas you lay want to harm, avoiding sad music, but listening to songs you like...).

I think it's healthier to let it all out.. But if you really need to hold it in, try some breathing exercises and try to put on a more positive mindset.. either that or look for comfort from people around you.
