Try to understand the trigger points like what time of the day , who the triggering person is, any memory which makes you feel like this. Once you are able to identify, you can seek more help to deal with the same.

It is okay to cry but when it's too much, you could consider putting your energy into something good and that helps other people. Let your feelings out using a journal whether that's writing things down or even destroying it.

It seems you are feeling upset or experiencing emotional distress. Perhaps you should think about why you are feeling this way and the reasons for why you cry.

To start, just started small and be nice to yourself. Taking care of yourself is the number one healer. It takes time of course but pacing yourself and doing things you enjoy and even just small things that will heal your mind and body will help you.

Oh, honey. I have been there and have done that. I did that and then just went numb. I went numb then resulted to trying to cut. Being numb was such a scary feeling but was relieving at the same moment. I even took out a certain amount of pieces of paper for each family member and began to write apology notes for why I am about to slit my own wrists. Do you feel sad or just feel like crying? I journal down my thoughts which I believe helps. Coloring with music helps me as well. Have you tried discovering if there is certain thoughts are making you feel bad or are just feeling crappy? I recommend grabby a journal and just writing and letting words flow or doodles come out. Put on a film or talk with a family member. I’m not sure if you have history of depression but I sure as hell do and I almost gave up that night. I didn’t and actually just talked to one of my brothers about my recent episode. I actually learned that he goes to therapy for his depression. Crazy, huh? Just know your never alone in this kind of battle.

Lean into the sadness. Feel it all. Let yourself cry and be sad- it's so important. It's beautiful. You don't need to do anything about the constant crying just yet. Once you've let yourself feel, try to work through it. There's usually a reason, and I find that finding the reason will help dramatically. I feel that once I realize why I'm in so much despair that the crying gets less frequent. If you already know why, first, talk to someone. Get it off your chest. Whether it's a friend, family, teacher, coworker, an anonymous internet chat, whatever. It'll get better. But you have to feel it all, first.

Ask yourself a question. Is the reason for crying so important and worth than my smile? Willingness to be happy can overpower any cry. Crying is natural. That's the first emotion you have experienced after coming out of your mother's womb. Don't judge yourself for crying. But don't the reason become bigger than your happiness. Talk to someone, share it with your favourite friend, relative or to unknown. My previous work place was a hell. Everybody there was trying to bully me, playing politics. I was very naive in that and it used to trouble me a lot. I have gone through sleepless nights, swollen eyes, dehydration and ulcers due to this. But then one day I felt this should stop. I will list down all small reason of my cry. I did that and then I worked on striking each one of it. It worked. It took me only 1 day to strike through first reason and I started becoming more and more powerful. I felt empowered. I felt pure. I felt happy. Now I will never cry till something happens bigger than that. You need to set benchmarks for yourself and think highly of you!

You should find something to make you change your thought process. Meditating and hard physical exercise will help immensely with this. Try not to focus on what is making you sad think about things that make you happy. Talk to people, sometimes just talking to someone will make you feel better and help you to stop crying. Don't be ashamed if you do cry its not something to be ashamed about, people cry if they are feeling sad about something, it is normal, especially if you are going through something severely distressing. And lastly keep a smile on your face even if you don't feel like it, it has been proven that if you smile it will naturally make you feel better inside. So try to stay happy and smile.

Hey there. What you're going through right now could indicate towards severe depression or anxiety that is lying on dangerously high levels. You should know that very few things deserve you to waste your tears upon them. I won't chastise you for crying because you're expressing emotions in the only way you're able to, and it's better than keeping them in. But do remember that all this crying won't just fix the problem. If, deep down, you know it can't be fixed, which is rare, then try moving on.. However, only resort to that if you've already tried your BEST to solve it. And if you find yourself crying suddenly without an apparent reason, then try contacting the nearest specialist for more professional diagnosis.. Take care ^^
Have a helpful insight? Don’t keep it to yourself.
Sharing helps others and its therapeutic for you.
