Sounds weird to hear that crying can make us happy? Well not really. When we are sad sometimes we don't always get to the point of crying. When we do get to that moment though, once you've cried your eyes out you will feel refreshed afterwards.

Don't believe me? Well it depends if you are clinically depressed then of course it won't be true for you. 😅

There's an old saying that you shouldn't laugh a lot because you will cry a lot later on. Well it turns out it can happen the opposite way too. After crying you can go back to being happy again!

I believe by doing this we can avoid getting into deep depression. Bottled up emotions that are in there for far too long is not good. Where will it go if it's not released? If you can't even talk about your problems with anyone then what will happen to you, right? Negative emotions need an outlet.

Crying releases all the negative emotions that have built up inside us. Once it is out and you've cried a lot you will notice your feelings will not be so terrible anymore.

That is the case if it's not because of someone's death or some tragedy. Those are what I'd call exceptions to the rule but normally like if it's just mood swings (usually for us women), a good cry can make everything better again.

Have you experienced this phenomenon before? I've felt it time and again. So when I get really sad it means I need to cry again so I can release the built up emotions inside.

However, crying will not solve our problems. It can only ease the pain and suffering for a moment especially if we are really in deep sh*t but otherwise I suggest that we should cry regularly to go back to feeling better. 👍

Think of this as an emotional lifehack if you haven't tried it yet.

I know guys rarely cry but if you can find a good movie to blame then why not, right? Believe me, bawling or sobbing will really make you feel okay afterwards.

Some people just eat and their mood gets lifted. That only applies when you're "hangry" or are a comfort food eater. If after eating you still feel sad then of course a good cry wouldn't hurt either.

It is better to cry for a reason though. Of course life can sometimes make you sad or angry but there are times you can't even cry at all. So it's better to just watch something to make your tears flow naturally. Hehe.

On that note, I wanted to know what are the films or TV shows that made you cry a lot? I know I've shed tears on several movies like What Dreams May Come, Up, Toy Story 3, Along With The Gods and even P. S. I Love You. No I don't think I cried much while watching Les Miserables. I did cry because of The Notebook though.

I've forgotten the rest that I've seen that made me cry my eyes out. Care to share the shows or films that made you shed a lot of tears? I need a good cry again so I can go back to being happy. 😅

XOXO,
