Go out for a walk and some fresh air, it’s great for the mind and body. Eat some good healthy meal, or something of your favourite. Meditation is a great way to calm down and feel grateful again! You have to start being mindful and realise that you are enough and needed in this world. Try talking to someone you trust and you know you won’t be judged. We all have problems and go through rough times but we need to see the positive side of things and start being thankful for what we have. Only then we can be in peace with our mind and problems and start seeing things from a better perspective.

Be Positive, you still have people there for you, even if you don't you still have us, listeners! we will always be there for you. Think positively, try to recall you happy memories, either with anyone; just think the ones that will make you laugh. You can always feel free to talk to us, we will always be there for you. Try telling what you are facing to a listener. Talk about the reasons that made you cry for days on end. Maybe this might make you feel better. Please feel free to talk to me anytime you are feeling bad. ^^

Unlike popular belief, crying isn't a bad thing. Actually when we cry we release a certain set of chemicals, which makes us feel better, which is why many of us feel better after we cry, it makes us feel like we've let the feeling that were tormenting us far away from us. But, if you think that you would rather let your feeling out in a different way I would recommend analysing your passions and use the energy that you would be using crying to create something extraordinary. Perhaps write a couple songs, make a new dance choreography, paint a landscape, write a book, create anything that makes you feel passionate and full.

This is when I have to do somethings that feel very anti-intuitive. I begin with self care and pick out clothes I haven’t worn recently and prepare to go out and walk. I may walk very slowly at first, yet as I do I stop observe the world around me looking at houses, flowers, trees and listen for the birds or sounds in the distance.I focus on my breath taking an occasional deep breath. I may not stay out for long but when I return I may reach out to a friend for companionship or someone I can talk to about how I am feeling.

Let it out. Can't run away from what I have to face, and confronting issues is stressful to say the least. Even acknowledging an issue is burdening. No matter what it is, you're crying for a reason, and that's okay - it helps you navigate your emotions more clearly, as opposed to bottling things up and denying that you're not okay. Crying is an important outlet for emotions. Don't fight it. Embrace it. Let it out. Let your soul breathe for as long as it needs. It relieves you of the pressures of keeping things inside and will make way for clarity, and even vulnerability. So, you don't have to do anything about it. Cry it out, and afterwards reflect on why you're crying and what you can do for yourself (seek help, meditate, etc.) to one day, stop feeling the need to cry.

It might seem annoying, weak, and confusing, but crying is extremely healthy! I remember periods of time where I would randomly burst into tears - this lasted for weeks, and I was so confused! But I realized that I was struggling with stress and sadness that I didn't allow myself (or didn't have time to) remedy, so my body took healing into its own hands. In hindsight, these bouts of crying were extremely healing. Without even knowing it, allowing myself to be still and cry and feel those emotions was just enough to make myself feel a little better afterwards. Crying spells are a message from your body that you aren't allowing yourself to feel some emotions - and its perfectly healthy to cry! Good luck

Clean your room. Take a shower. Change into a fresh set of clothes. Play some music. Turn your phone off. Sing to your favourite songs. Watch your favourite TV show. Read a book. Spend time with your pet(s), if you have any. Take a nap. Reset your mind. If the problem persists, perhaps it's because you're avoiding something. Come up with a plan. Face your problems head-on. You can do it. Don't let yourself wallow in your tears. Your feelings will only fester and make you feel worse. Try talking about them, if you want to, or write them down.

There is definitely a reason within. Sometimes talking to someone we trust works and sometimes there is the need to seek professional therapy. I think its best if you reach out for help by firstly talking to understanding friends or family members. If you still felt bad for it then comes the next option which is talking to a counselor. And the most important thing is that you shouldn't take it for granted. Like getting a fever, its a sign of something going wrong. So its best if you face it and see what you can do for it.

Is it that you have found comfort in that? you have to root out the problem and not try to make home of this situation. Often we become comfortable in the situations. Especially when they are bad. Because we don't know how to get out of them anymore. We forget that the answer to the situation is within our own-selves. another thing is the more you put your attention to this problem you have, the more you will think it actually EXISTS and you will think that something is actually WRONG with you. I hope it helps you out though

Crying can be a release. Something has likely been overwhelming your mind, and you are letting it all out when you cry. Surprisingly, a number of emotions can be behind the release. When you are crying, take a deep breath. Then notice what you are feeling, and WHY. This part can be difficult and takes practice. Often, people cry because they can't take one more thing. Most people's lives are full of stress, to the point where their bodies are constantly on high-alert. This can be exhausting, and can lead to the release of crying. If you think this may be the case for you, you may want to read this article: Finding Freedom from Fight-or-Flight . I know from working with my clients, that it definitely is possible to learn new strategies to deal with life's storms.
