When you cry, your breathing stabilizes, your heart rate slows and your blood pressure decreases.

Moreover, crying releases feel-good chemicals, such as oxytocin and endorphins, which soothe your body and boost your mood.

It’s also important to shed tears when you’re dealing with anxiety or other mental health issues. It’s a natural and healthy reaction to pain, grief, anger or frustration.

1. It’s a natural part of human development

No two children are the same in their physical, emotional and social development. How much better you’ll feel astounded you.

While crying is often associated with feelings of rage, sadness, hurt or grief, it also happens when you are extremely happy or scared about something. Researchers believe this is the body’s way of restoring balance and coping with strong emotions.

Crying may also be a helpful part of recovery from grief as it is a natural process that involves phases of sadness, dumbfounded, guilt and anger.

A recent Mind poll1 found that four in five 18 to 34 year olds put on a brave face when they are anxious, but one in five admitted to crying due to anxiety in the last week. The charity is now launching a free guide to help people better understand why they cry, and how it can be beneficial to their mental health.

2. It’s a self-soothing mechanism

When we cry we release oxytocin and endorphins, the two chemicals that give us a feeling of well-being. They’re also known to help ease pain and keep your mind and body healthy.

However, if you’re constantly crying for no reason or it starts to affect your daily life or is uncontrollable, then it’s time to talk to a mental health professional. This may include an assessment by a doctor or counselor.

Counselor Brittany Navarro agrees that crying can be beneficial for some people. “Crying is a great way to release your emotions, but it can be incredibly overwhelming when you have a lot of them,” she says. You feel better once you’ve expressed it.

When we cry, we’re often feeling rage, hurt, frustration or grief. These feelings are all important and can be released through shedding tears.

2. It’s a release valve

There are a number of reasons why crying is important for your mental health. One is that it can relieve stress and anxiety.

Another is that it can help you to deal with depression and anger.

However, if you’re finding that you have to stop yourself from crying all of the time or are feeling overwhelmed by your emotions, it could be a sign that you need help with your mental health.

There are many different ways that you can cope with your emotions, and some of these include expressing your feelings through writing or by talking to someone about them. But crying is also a great way to release your emotions, and it can be very cathartic when done in the right circumstances.

4. It’s a way of letting go

Crying is a natural reaction that allows us to express a range of emotions, including happiness, sadness, frustration, and anger.

It can also be a way to release pain and tension that has built up in the body due to an emotional situation. It can help you get through a difficult time and allow you to recover from it.

Stress is one of the most common mental health problems in the world, and it has a negative effect on your mood and emotions. It can also cause you to get distracted, forgetful, disorganized, and have a hard time focusing on your tasks.

If you’re feeling stressed or overwhelmed, try to take a moment to let the tears flow. How much better you’ll feel astounded you.
