every one feels emotional different ways. sometimes crying making u feel worser can just be a sign that your letting go off stress and emotions that have been building up, the release of these sad emotions can be overwhelming. Just remember that crying can be a healthy thing, as your letting yourself be sad for a moment. Aslong as u know how to pick yourself back up after everytime you feel like crying, that’s the main thing. I sometimes feel worse after crying as well but if you truly think about it, after the years are dry, the worries seems a bit lighter and also your mood.

You feel worse after crying because you are triggered due to stress and anxiety, caused due to intense emotions. The emotional-buildup causes the body to release hormones like cortisol, which stimulate neurotransmitters in the brain, causing physical reactions such as crying, headaches, and runny noses. Obviously though, it depends on your situation and how YOU feel, so i cannot tell you exactly. This is more brief and scientific information. A tip from me: if you feel worse after crying, talk to someone that truly makes you happy. There is a word that captures how talking helps—catharsis. Talking leads to a catharsis, which means a feeling of relief. Talking helps, trust me.,

Crying is a means of releasing your emotional frustrations. However, it might not be beneficial to you the way it helps others. Sometimes, crying does not solve your problems and therefore you feel worse after you have cried. Crying has a negative stigma as well, however, sometimes it's an appropriate emotional response. Most times after you have cried your level of fatigue likely depends on how strenuously you cried. More vigorous crying could lead to hyperventilation, which could reduce the amount of oxygen to your brain. This would also lead you to feel more drowsy. You might want to find an emotional release outlet that works best for you such as journaling, or speaking to a friend or relative about what you are going through.

Crying is a physical expression based on our emotions and may show what we are feeling on the inside.
Despite being something often incited by pain or sadness, there may be times where crying is simply a form of expression and nothing more.
If this is the case then it would explain why sometimes crying does not alleviate the negative emotions that incited it. Rather it is just how we outwardly express our inner emotions. Everyone is different and every reason to cry is unique in it's own way. What may work for one person might not always help another

Crying can be a healthy coping mechanism as it releases built up negative emotions and calms the body by lowering blood pressure. Crying also releases stress related hormones such as cortisol, which can leave you feeling emotionally drained and tired afterwards. The release of these hormones can also cause headaches and runny noses, which can make you feel worse. The reason you may feel worse could also be due to emotions you are experiencing, perhaps you consider yourself to be weak for crying. It also does not fix the issue you are facing, which may lead to feelings of frustration.

Crying brings out the emotions that make us sad. When someone cries, the emotions causing them to cry come out. It's not until they have experienced those emotions, that they can begin to feel better. Crying is a healthy part of the grieving process, and someone should not be ashamed to do it, because it is natural. My grandmother used to tell me when I was younger to get all my tears out, to cry it all out so I could feel better. I didn't feel better right after, but once I experienced the emotions that brought me there, I felt better.

i believe its because your emotional barriers have given way. The emotional barriers were holding back your tears .Keeping the hurt and pain you felt contained inside. so fighting back the pain you were actually denying the problem. When you could no longer keep the hurt and pain back . The tears fell and released the hurt and pain you had been holding back. Releasing the emotion and again you had to face the pain you held onto. confronting and admitting the reality of the problem. Admitting to your true feelings ,leaves you feeling vulnerable and exhausted. IT is the only way to move forward .

Perhaps the crying came from thinking about a negative situation, so while crying may feel cathartic at first, the situation hasn't been resolved so the negative feelings remain. In order to feel better, it would be worth either talking to someone about the problem or writing it down. These are both ways to make the situation feel less overwhelming. You could also think about the feelings that arise when you think about the issue and look for resources to help you manage them emotions. For example, I used to feel anxious about going to school so I looked at the "self care for anxiety" page on mind.org

Personally I think we feel worse after crying because we've only gotten our emotions out but haven't processed them. I know processing my feelings help me when I feel upset and cry. Talking and evaluating why im crying causes me to feel better. Recently I was crying to the point of almost throwing up, and I still felt hurt maybe worse after. I decided to find help and talk with someone about my feelings to process them and that's how I became a listener. Being listened too helped me feel better and come to a conclusion on what I can do to continue feeling better.

Crying exerts a lot of energy because we often have increased breaths and our hearts are racing. Because of the energy our body exerts to cry, we often find ourselves feeling tired and physically exhausted afterward. This isn't abnormal, and it's very common to feel this way after crying. You're using so many muscles and there are so many thoughts racing during a good cry that it seems almost as if our bodies are completely out of juice after. What has always helped me feel better after crying is taking a nice bath or drinking a cup of coffee just to re-orient myself and get a little bit of that energy back. If it's just before bed, that lack of energy in your body from crying can send you right off to sleep which is also useful!
