crying some can be a release and cathartic. Too much can definitely make life difficult and it takes a toll on your because you are sedentary, maybe not eating. Your eyes get droopy and red too. That’s how I knew my mother was emotionally abused. Just being honest. It is important to see someone. Or even check yourself in for a few days… taking responsibility out of your life and just talking to someone or being around others who give and need help can be a relief.

I don't know of any risks it has to your health. I see it as a good thing. Crying is a release for me. It's really energy-sapping, but I always feel better after a good cry. It allows you to get out all those negative thoughts. Now what's not healthy is keeping them bottled up. That can lead to all sorts of problems that, in addition to mental and emotional health ones, can also cause physical issues. I have a friend who, after lots of investigation into the cause for a physical issue, was finally able to tie it to constantly being in fight-or-flight mode while growing up.

OB73, during my years of uncontrollable crying, I found emotional release

but also immense headaches. xx

I read that toxins are released from your body when you cry and good chemicals are released in your body that make you relax. It's good to know that even tears have a purpose! I've cried so much as I went through cancer treatments and depression that I would buy tissue boxes in bulk from Costco. It's definitely ok to cry and it helps! I'm doing better now.

I am a 61 year old male ,, and ive only got to hear an old song or watch a sad film and it can start me off. Ive always have deep emotions, but my last partner of 7yrs who i found out was a narcissist still breaks my heart a year on when i think of how much i loved and cared for her and gave her everything for it to all to be thrown back at me , then find out when i was dying in hospital dying she would visit and then go back to her home and be making dates with other men, and even have a couple of one night stands, knowing what it was doing to me. It still haunts me and i just want to break free of this trauma bond as quick as possible. please help/thank you so much x
