Truthfully I would take one more day, to just let all the pain and sadness in, cry it all out, still drink water tho, then I would cry and cry just for that one day. Why? So when ive let it all out felt all the pain in one go I wont have anymore tears to let out. Because when you supress your tears and your emotions it will break you one day. And I learned this the hard way.. the more emotions you supress the more broken you wil be once you blow up. So its better to take one day, and let it out in your own time that you've set

You can allow yourself to cry, sometimes a good cathartic cry can help us accept that we aren't feeling to great. Accepting emotions for what they are can often help us overcome our challenges, the more we accept each emotion as it enters and feel it the more likely it is we can come with what comes out way. For me personally i feel if i supress an emotion i often feel that emotion for much longer. Have you been able to speak to someone you trust recently ? A reminder you are not alone , you are never alone.

Talk to people, and eat good food. Indulge in things that bring you happiness. A walk, a book a show. Keep yourself distracted. Another important point is, when you talk to people who care about you and actually listen to what they are saying. Do not dismiss them, just like you wouldn't like to be dismissed by a friend who you care about if they were in trouble. What is making you cry? You need to analyse. You need to think about it and come up with an actionable plan to solve your issues. You can take help from friends/family or even qualified therapists.

Breathe. You are okay. If you believed in Santa for at least 8 years, you can believe in yourself for at least 8 minutes. Right now it might not seem it, and that is understandable, but you can do this. Everything that has happened to you as of yet, is building you up to something great. You have to believe in that though. As hard as it is, you need to trust in yourself. Right now, it is a rough patch for you but think about it like this. If you were to live to 100 years, then each year is 1% of your life, which means each day is .2% of your life. It's okay to cry and it's okay to be down for days. But at some point you're going to have to pick yourself up and start making those .2%s worth it. You got this!

I completely understand the feeling. Whenever I start to feel like this, it always helps to turn towards family or friends. Even if you aren't able to exactly speak with others about how you are feeling in the moment, surrounding yourself with those that you love can really provide as an eye-opener that you are in need of a little bit of love. Also, being able to express yourself through writing, painting, drawing, or sculpting can provide as an outlet for the emotions that you are feeling. Writing is especially helpful in providing insight on what exactly has been making you feel so upset. You may find that in the end, you are bottling up your emotions. It is okay to let them out. Completely so.

I used to cry for days on end. I realized that actually taking a deep breath and taking steps to write down what is important to you is helpful. I would then meditate in a quiet environment for some time. Listing out the things that are important to you helps you reevaluate your relationships. It makes you a happier human being overall. Crying is a part of life but the way you deal with it makes a big difference. You need to believe that you are a stronger individual than what other people believe. You need to start loving yourself and remember that your body is a temple.

Some things that help me are techniques like naming the colours you see or doing math in your head. Something to make the other parts of your brain work. Never apologise for crying. Instead, say something like "you can see I am very passionate about this topic" then just move on. forcing yourself to to smile helps too, it tricks your body into not crying. It is important to remember that being hard on yourself will only make it worse, it's a good thing to be in touch with your emotions. All in all, find distractions to stop yourself crying.

I'm sorry to hear that. I can definitely relate and I've cried. it's not a bad thing to cry. It feels as if though you are releasing an emotion. At some point, my soul felt cleansed by letting it out. I was able to recover from that emotion once I released it, and so can you. Listening to Happy music, reading a good book, watching a Comedy movie, and eating my favorite foods helped me not to cry or feel sad. Sometimes people don't cry because they are sad, some cry because of other emotions they are feeling. Watching stand up comedy always helped change my mood.

Maybe try to write the things down that make you sad or listen to calm and happy music. Music can really help you. Try to reach out to friends and talk to them or even meet up with them. I know this will sound silly but try to write a diary. With daily thoughts or things that just make you sad. Surround yourself with positive people and positive hobbies. Maybe even learn a new hobby, like drawing, writing or an instrument. You can't do anything wrong except for doing nothing about it and I'm 100% sure you're strong enough. Never give up!

This sounds like a very difficult situation. I would start by identifying what makes me happy- even the small things, like a scoop of ice cream, or going on a walk while the sun sets. I would then consider if doing something that makes me happy will help to make me feel better- but understandably, it may not, depending on the gravity of the situation. What is it that's making you upset? Is there anything you could do at the core of this that could make the situation better- can you consult the issue directly? Again, if not, this is completely O.K. Sometimes, problems have to be solved with taking time to embrace the difficulties and taking the opportunity to reflect on any lessons learned from this difficult experience. In other words, crying is an OK thing as it is good to consult your emotions. However, it is also important to identify how you can motivate yourself to 'move on'. Presumably, there would have been an issue you would have experienced if you were feeling so upset- what can be done to either eradicate or learn from this experience? "We fall. We break. We fail. But then, We rise. We heal. We overcome."
