How do I stop crying so much?

A lot of people, especially a lot of pre-teens, feel this way sometimes.  Maybe you could talk to a counselor at school, and see what she or he suggest?  They may suggest that it would be a good idea to speak to a counselor or therapist for a while.  You would have an opportunity to talk about why you cry and what makes you feel bad, and they will be able to suggest things you can do to feel better.  If you feel comfortable, you could ALSO talk to your sister or mom, or someone else you trust, about how you feel.  Feel better!

I used to be the same way. People who cry a lot just have easier access to their emotions, really. They know what they feel the instant they feel it. There are people out there who never acknowledge feelings, never cry, and their behavior is stony and unpersonable. \n\nBut I can still imagine that you'd like to avoid crying in public, because it is a little embarrassing. I can't give you any tips on how to do this, it's going to take some practice and knowledge of yourself. Whenever I feel myself wanting to cry in front of people, I shove it down. I think of anything else to avoid thinking of what's making me sad. I wait until I can get in the car by myself or in the bathroom, and then I let loose. A few minutes of crying and I'm good. \n\nGood luck. Don't beat yourself up because you're sensitive. You just feel, you feel a lot, and you wear your heart on your sleeve. This is not a bad thing. :)

you know, pal, i came through this stage too, and I'm only 13. I may sound dorky but I found a way to stop being depressed. first of all, search your heart and your subconscious mind. is there anything that happened in past that affected you, like your boyfriend dumping you or your parents ignoring you? whatever it is, sort it out, write it down in a piece of paper, then mail it to somebody without your name and return address. or if you're afraid of rejection of the mail, burn the paper. then after that, throw away your ouija board. burn it. the ouija board is a powerful source of emotional distress. then since you drench your pain in your fathers alcohol, STAY AWAY FROM ALCOHOL. Dare yourself not to go anywhere near that alcohol. Have a fear of the alcohol, just as you must have a fear of the ouija board. think of them as awakening pains. then lock yourself in a room, sit in a "yoga position" then peacefully, meditate your problem. if u still have the ashes of the burnt paper, put it in a goblet, hold it while meditating, then if u feel u want the presence of the ouija board or the alcohol, just cry. cry and dont stand up, just cry your tears into the goblet. another, listen to music. not PUNK, ROCK, BLUES or any depressing music. listen to soothing music, music that is really deserving to be called MUSIC. and when the weather is warm, go out, take a little stroll, appreciate the oxygen, the plants and the people around. and remember, count your blessings. you are not among the population of people who cannot even eat or use computers. count your blessing. you have your father. you have your life. you have your house, your room and your account in yahoo. they are all simple, but when you compare them to other people, ponder. do they have a chance to use computers?? more than half of the population of Earth havent even used a computer. pal, you are lucky. just try to have a different view.after you have that different view in life, refresh yourself then read Bible and go to church. if this doesnt work out, relax. its hard at first, but if you listen to God's words, depression will leave you. if this doesnt help, i suggest you contact a psychologist to help you.and dont forget, if u dont have money and u really need a counselor, you can have downpayment. this worked out for me, trust me, and i believe this will work out on you two. if you need further help, just send me an e-mail kiss_carraine14@yahoo.com and remember I can be your friend and I want to be your friend.

stop seeing him and do not let him in your life...if he cries, tell him to tighten his chin strap and act like a FUCKING man

I think you need to just eat some cookie dough ice cream and have a good cry. \nThings will look better in the morning.

If you are supression strong emotions, do you really want to let them out?  It sounds like your best bet would be to see a therapist. Then you can decide just how much help you really need or want.

Start ignoring her as much as possible until she cries.

Yes ,sometimes those tears come so spontaneously and you cant stop them how muchever you wish too. In fact the moment you feel you should stop it,the faster the tear stream runs.

Cry, talk about it, cry some more. Get it totally out of your system. Throw all of those memories away. Then go and live your life like you've never lived it before. Meet new people, go places, do things, and never ever look back.

So stop it already! Hurting your feelings with what??>....um,.. lemme guess, words? Are you certain that he is doing it intentionally, or do he think he is not. \n\nFeelings get hurt only when we allow ourselves to feel that way.  I strongly believe that you can also choose to not let whatever it is he says hurt you by ignoring him, not taking those times so seriously and tell yourself he is just messing with you, and blow it off- give him a taste of his own medicine and see how he reacts. \n\nBottom line, you control emotions, get upset, feeling hurt,     are controlled by you. You decide what will piss you off and what hurts. Change the way you think and perceive things, don't take things so personally, remember freedom of speech?   \n\nYour bf probably gets a kick watching you get all upset. Dont let him see you hurt or upset, don't let it faze you, like you never heard him, I bet it will stop. \nMaybe you are just being a cry baby? Maybe blow his mind the next time he is hurting your feelings and just crack up laughing hysterically then stop, telling him he is so hilarious. Well, at least you will be laughing, that feels better than feeling hurt, or sad or upset. Is this making any sense at all?\nI hope you understand my point, and you find your way to toughen up your sensitivity.

Why are you sad? Is something bothering you? Seems like you need to talk to someone.Sad songs are okay to listen to. But if you are crying all the time, then there is an underlying condition. Please confide in a friend or parent. Things will get better. Talk to someone and get your feelings out in the open. Good luck, sweetie.

No, I don't.  I used to, a lot over many things.  But now I think I have gotten to the point that I am cried out.  I've lost so much in my life that I just don't seem to have any tears left for anything.

I pray, read the Bible, put on good music (something with a beat to get me moving and laughing again), call a friend and go get some gelato, write, paint, workout, curl up in my hubby's arms, call someone I love and see how they are doing.  However, if I need to cry, I do.  Crying is good sometimes.  \n\nIt depends on what the situation is.  The important part is recognizing when you are down, so you can find a way to come back up. :)\n\nKeep smiling :))

To begin with, something upsetting has happened to bring you to the point of tears.  This in itself is stressful.  Stress and tension break down the ammune system and can lead to illness over time.  So, when you cry, and I mean really sob, your body is releasing stress, sadness, perhaps anger, and all around tension.  It isn't just the crying that is tiring, it is the emotional drainage.  Did you know it takes more muscles to frown than to smile?  I've cried quite a bit, I'm kind of an expert, tee hee.

Yeah. When you've been hurt so badly, you block out every emotion except pain and sadness. You don't necessarily physically hurt; but the emotional pain is unbearable. It doesn't last forever though. Talk to a counselor or a close friend/relative. Sorry honey!!!! P.S. Right category.

Crying or weeping is increased production of tear due to strong emotional stress or pain. This practice is not restricted to negative emotions; many people have been known to cry when extremely happy. \n\nIn humans, emotional tears can be accompanied by reddening of the face and sobbing — cough-like, convulsive breathing, sometimes involving spasms of the whole upper body. Tears brought about by emotions have a different chemical make up than those for lubrication. As one of your other readers have pointed out crying releases a lot of stress and carries with it harmful chemicals away from your body.\n\nHave you not heard the phrase, "cry your heart out"... it makes good sense to cry out your feelings as it is bad to hold in emotions.... they say holding back really builds up toxins that can even lead to cancer.
