Crying spells

Thank you so much for submitting your question!

When you're emotional, your eyes are set to cry. Crying is a signal to someone else: you show that you are not feeling well and that you need support or help. You indicate that you would like to get rid of your crying spells. It might be interesting to investigate where your crying spells come from. Are you crying because you feel emotional?

Then it is very good to take a deeper look at this. Ask yourself: what exactly do I feel when I cry? When we start to deny or hide negative emotions, such as sadness, fear, anger or disappointment, we miss a number of important signals. All our emotions, both positive and negative, have a function. They tell us what we need and where our needs lie. That restless feeling you get right before you go to work, or the disappointment you feel within that one friendship, for example. They can all be signs that you are missing or longing for something.

Are you crying because you are unhappy? By listening to that unhappy feeling, we get more in touch with ourselves, with who we are and what we need. But this can be quite a challenge. Especially when we are no longer used to doing this.

If you notice that you cry a lot, it is important to understand why you are crying. If you cry because you are missing something or longing for something, it is important to check yourself for this. Below are a few tips that can help you:

• If someone asks you how you are, tell them how you are! Acknowledge when you feel bad and try to share it with others.
• Don't be afraid of having unhappy feelings. Realize that negative emotions don't last forever and always pass.
• Remember that negative emotions are not meaningless and that they can actually give you a lot of insight.

I hope this helps!
