Why do I feel worse after crying?

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
