Crying as stress-reliever

[Melanie717]

Have you ever had a good old cry, and then felt worlds better? Crying is the most ancient and instinctual way to get out emotions. We all did this as babies. We cried when something was wrong. Or we needed something. As toddlers, we cry when we are afraid.
Have you ever resorted to just plain crying to relieve stress, anxiety, and/or depression?
Did it help?

Crying can be a natural stress-reliever. I’ve found that releasing emotions through tears can provide a sense of relief, reducing emotional tension. It can help reset mental clarity, offering a fresh perspective on a situation, even if temporarily.

Yes, . When we cry, our bodies release hormones like oxytocin and endorphins, which have calming and pain-relieving effects. crying can be a healthy way to relieve stress and improve emotional well-being. Crying can also be a way to release pent-up emotions.

I always cry like a baby when I need to cry. It really helps me find relief at the at the end. In my society, it is seen as a sign of weakness for a man to cry. But I don't know which one is more weakness when you bottle your emotions and end up completely broken in the end.

I find crying a powerful stress-reliever, releasing pent-up emotions like after a tough workweek. In my quiet bedroom, letting tears flow feels cleansing, easing tension and helping me regain clarity and calm.
