I have anxiety and every time I cry I feel better, it’s like I’m letting all my problems out of my body

In times of deep pain, anger and stress, crying can be a healthy coping option

[kaleenajean]

Yes. Yes it is. It’s a relief. A few times I felt stressed and anxiety. I needed a good cry hehe and a weight lifted. Music as well.

I find that having a good laugh is the best way for me to relieve stress. Everyone has their own way of relieving stress. Just because laughing is what helps me it doesn't mean it will work for others

Sadness is the only reason i cry

Sadness and disappointment and even then that 0.01% of the time the rest of the time i can simply say “shit happens deal with it” and be fine

I think that the ways to releave the sadness are depend on the rasones of the sadness 🤷‍♀️

I haven't cried about my 2 nephews dying from heart attacks months apart. I'm in shock.

[Shellyshocked]

I've done nothing but cry for 2 months since my daughter died. My face and eyes aren't so swollen I look like I got punched😪

I laugh to relieve stress. It's hard for me to cry. I'd rather punch someone.
