Why do I feel worse after crying?

Usually when people cry, it either helps them to feel better or sometimes even worse. That is mainly because you feel vulnerable after having your guard up for too long. Conventional wisdom usually appears to attribute women to cry more, whilst the functioning and anatomy of tear ducts helps distinguish such facts from myths. A research study, held by Jonathan RottenBerg, the lead author of the study, where an article was published in the Journal of Research. There were 3000 participants where one-tenth of them had felt worse after crying. It was also found that it depends on who is crying to find the results. If it is just a bad situation, stress yet get good emotional support, they tend to feel better while those who have anxiety or mood disorders, feeling lonely and lost, tend to feel other otherwise. Crying is a mechanism that usually helps to calm the body down from its negative state of high blood pressure and high breathing patterns. It is to help the body and mind to tune into better moods. However, be careful and make sure not to get dehydrated. Emotional tears help cope with stress and otherwise prevent bigger complications like heart problems.

It may be coming from the aftermath of crying, sometimes after you let out your emotions physically such as crying, you can feel very tired or uncaring due to your energy being drained. With that being said, because of your lack of energy, it can cause your emotion to still bounce and be unsettling.

People don't like being vulnerable. I think it's because when you cry in front of someone or even alone, you cry about something that matters to you. We don't see other people crying, so we think it's a sign of weakness. We don't want people to pity us or look at us as we're weak. Crying about something also means that it matters, and things that matter hurt us. Personally I cry all the time, and more often than not I do feel bad about it. Sometimes I think I'm making a big deal out of something trivial. I don't like crying in front of others because it makes me realize how helpless I show myself.

Because you have let out everything that you really felt and poured it out. Feeling all that emotions while crying is not easy. But to get yourself back up after letting it all out thats the hardest part.

Normally people feel relief after crying, at least that is my personal experience. However when dealing with situations were one feels helpless, perhaps the realization of not having control of the reality affecting us can make it seem worse. I know when my father past away nothing could make me feel better. It took some time. Time is a healer and we need to be patient with ourselves and honor the process. Can you tell me more about why you feel this way?

that may be an apathetic feeling... i get it all the time after i cry. but i like it because i know ill get back to normal soon... keep in mind that these feelings are never permanent. you will be laughing and enjoying things again.

In my experience, I used to "need a good cry" from time to time and that seemed to make me feel better. But in the past few years, crying makes me feel worse. Much worse. Something about my body has changed (we are changing all the time) and now a cry gives me migraine, or at least a bad headache. It makes me eyes red and my eyelids swollen. And it wipes out my energy. Because crying makes things worse for me, I am motivated to find healthy ways to deal with the original problem. I breathe, deeply and slowly. I change environments - go outdoors or go to a different room. I surf the internet to get my mind off the problem for a little while. I talk to someone. I hope this is helpful to you.

There are many reasons for that. May be you think crying is something only weak people do? May be you think crying isn't very 'macho' or something to be proud of? May be you see it as a sign of weakness- breaking down in the middle of the night? However, I believe, crying is something that makes us human. It is a sign of you being strong for a long period of time. It is a sign of you fighting and finally realising the battle wasn't worth it. It is a sign of you being a warrior, fighter who realised he/she was fighting the wrong battle. It is a sign of you trying to pick yourself up again. Trying to create a monument from all those crumbs. Or it simply is a sign of you holding up for so long, you planning to win the other half of the battle. You have been holding things up, carrying so much of weight for such a long period of time, it's time you let certain things go. It's time you cry and let those things flow away with your tears. It's time you cry and acknowledge how beautiful the emotion is.

After the emotional whirlwind you just went through, you now get to reflect on what happened, thus comes the regret and self-loathing

Because you feel like life is so difficult but. Think about how you have so much to be thankful for. So many people are fighting harder waes
