whenever you get down do you burst into crying?

Crying is a natural release I believe. I certainly dont cry as much as I use to. It takes a great deal of stress to bring that on but after a good cry I do usually feel better.

Not in all situations I cry but if I'm deeply sad I cry yes when I cry I feel more comfortable and this release my sadness and give me more strength I think crying is a good way to let our sadness come out so that you can think well after it so try to cry at sometimes not all the time only in the big sad situations.

Sometimes I can keep from crying but most of the time I do, but I usually wait until I am alone. I don't like other people to see me cry. Sometimes it feels better after I am done. I don't think either way is better than the other, its just how you handle things.

I cry but I don't know if I would say that is necessarily calming. I'm upset right now infact. My daughter who is 9 goes to her dad's every other weekend so this weekend was my turn. I let her have her two best friends to sleepover. I made a cake for them. Spagetti for dinner last night and then a chocolate fondue and hot chocolate. Then got up and made them pancakes this morning. Devoted my whole weekend to her. Then when her friends left my son who is 18 was messing around and put her in a really bad mood so needless to say she is cranky. Who does she take it out on??? Me. I am in tears now cause I tried so hard. I know if it was something my ex or his girlfriend did for her she would be so happy. There are days this is too hard to take.

I do not cry very often. Perhaps if I cried sometimes I would let out some of my unhappiness and frustrations. The last time that I can remember crying was when my cat dired early last year. My cat was my true friend and i loved him dearly.

Well crying is best way to come out of depression and its never shameful. Tears are best doctors for releaving the pressure on mind and heart.

Like you I get sad or angry and rarely cry but I do think that being able to cry more easily would be a better way to relieve the feelings.

i dont know which is better but i usually cry when let down.it sometimes looks silly.but i do feel better after a good cry.

It's strange really. There are times when I'm depressed that is all I can do is cry. Someone looks at me the right way and I'll burst into tears, I drop something (doesn't break) and I'll still cry. Other times though I just get angry and sad but I don't cry at all. Everythig in the world could be going wrong and I don't cry I just get more angry at everything but especially at myself for getting angry. It's a no win situation.

When I get upset, I try very hard NOT to burst out crying. I don't always succeed, so sometimes there I am crying. I don't like to cry in front of people. I learned while I was growing up that crying is a sign of weakness and that once they know how to hurt you, they will do it again and again because they feel superior when they are "winning" at making you feel bad. My parents were and are not nice people even now. As an adult and with lots of counseling, I might add, I have learned that crying is NOT a sign of weakness, that it is a sign of strength because it releases stress and gives you the extra energy and courage for continuing on with life after you recover from the tiredness of crying. Plus if I am crying because someone has hurt me, sometimes I just get so mad at them for being such a mean poop that I will absolutely decide to carry on in spite of what they said or did so it has a reverse effect on me now. It just makes me so much stronger and more determined when I cry. So, I vote yes on crying being a good thing though for so many years, I could not cry at all. I had to have several years of counseling before I could cry and I am still not fully comfortable with crying. I am still in counseling so who knows how much more mentally healthy I will become!

Well, firstly I am a female and from what I know, girls tend to be more emotional so cry more easily and often. From my own experience, there were times when after I have a spell of crying it doesn't soothe me or calm me down. But at other times, after crying, I feel that all the burdens upon my heart has been released with the tears. Maybe it has to do with the trigger - what made you cry in the first place. But I know that there are people who have emotional nd psychological problems who can't cry or have trained themselves not to. Whatever it is, crying is a natural response to situations. Just be yourself.

sometimes it helps, of course. but mostly temporarily. you have to solve the probklem not just cry over it...

Whenever i feel down or very sad i really do cry maybe because im sensitive with a lot of things. i find crying to be therapeutic because i can burst out my problems and sadness through it and after, though im still sad, i feel much better and i can go on with my day. Im not the type of person who suppresses problems cause i feel really depressed if i do that and it truly affects everything that i do.

I cry for no reason all the time, but I hate it. It's hard to stop and can go on for hours. My eyes are really puffy the next day. I wish I knew hoe to stop myself.
