Why does crying make me tired??????

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.

Lots of things can cause tiredness.  I'll name just a few that come to my mind.\n\nIron deficiency.  If you have lost any blood or are not getting enough iron in your diet, you could have anemia.  This makes you feel tired and run-down.\n\nThyroid disease.  If your thyroid is low, you will feel tired.  \n\nDepression.  One symptom of depression can be fatigue.\n\nVitamin B deficiency.\n\nAnd a whole host of illnesses have tiredness as a symptom.  You could even have a sleeping disorder where even though you are technically asleep, you are not getting a good sound sleep that your body needs.\n\nDo you get enough exercise and drink plenty of water?\n\nYou probably should have a complete bloodwork done, so they can check for all the possible things like thyroid and deficiencies, etc.

Crying is a natural thing and sometimes it 's healthy to cry.\nConcerning the embarrassing side of the fact i think everyone has the right to be ridiculous or act as an idiot.\n\nAll you can do during this time is waiting for the tears to dry or move away...

I feel the same way right now.\nI feel like I am so sad I want to cry but too tired and burned out to bother.\nI just am really starting to hate almost everyone lately.

I had that problem once and it was my caffine intake. I was drinking so much soda that it made me tired in that way. Not sure what your habits are but try drinking water. Its incredible how great it makes you feel if you drink enough. Try water for a week or so.

I do feel tired had have heavy clotting during the first couple of days.  I heard that the menstrual cycle depletes iron levels in the body (which can be a cause of sleepiness and drowsiness).  I take an extra iron supplement during my cycle to combat that tired feeling.

Probably because something is bothering you.\n\nMaybe in your love life???\nThat was the problem for me.\n\nOr it could be you are depressed about something.\n\nHave you talked to your friends about this I mean maybe they have noticed changes in your life you haven't really noticed and maybe they can help yuo figure it out.\n\nI hope you don't have to cry anymore. it sucks to cry although it feels good to let all your upset and hurt feelings out.

YES!  It can make you tired!  Just like it can make you sad, bitchy, whatever...it messes with your hormones and can make anything happen...even being tired!  Tell your girl to get some exercise and eat healthy...that should help!

I'm thinking that I'm sad and I don't know why. . . Maybe I'm just tired- maybe I'm about to start-  I feel the lump in my throat like I'm about to cry.  I think I'm just a little lonely b/c my man and children are sleeping and I'm still awake at 2:09 AM- I'm thinking that there are so many closed-minded people in the R & S section.  \n\nThanks for asking

I don't know if this is supposed to be a guy's problem...but my mother and I share the same problem. My mother is a little more severe in that aspect, though.\n\nI've never, ever seen her cry in my entire life. I can swear by that. Not even her eyes watering. She's an extremely tough, strong woman who'd never let the 'weakness' (she thinks its a weakness) of crying show in front of her children.\nI have no doubt she cries to herself at nights. But I've never seen her crying, and no matter how hurtful or great the situation is, she never breaks down. SHe's always tight-lipped and tension lines streak across her tired face, but there's never a tear.\nMy dad once commented to her, "I feel like I've married a man."\nI take that as a sort of compliment, that my mom, after having gone through several life crisises that wouldn't probably sent a whole family off a building or through the noose, she plough through it all, all without shedding a tear.\nAs for me, you can expect that because of her perception that crying is a weakness, I became somewhat eager to live up to her expectations (while my sister and brothers are whiny sobs...ok, well, they just cry a whole lot more, my sister being the worse.) and I became somewhat 'conditioned' not to cry.\nThough since I've had a fiance, he's been trying to encourage me not to be so 'angry', 'uptight' and close up all my feelings, I find it's helped a little, but I find it so hard to just 'let it go'.\nFor example, I was very close to my grandma. When she passed away because of breast cancer (she also had several stomach ulcers because she kept skipping meals to save money even though we were really well-off. SHe did it without our knowledge, because she came from extreme poverty with 8 kids single-handedly raised, and saving money no matter how was crucial to survival.), I was distraught, but I didn't cry.\nIt was an open coffin funeral. I remember seeing her lying in there dressed in new clothes, her eyes closed, like she was asleep. But she looked a little worried, I thought.\nI never shed a tear, I tried, I even closed my eyes and tried to run all the fond memories through my head of my beloved gran but not a tear could be shed.\nI was so...crushed. I felt like a robot. I still do. I find my emotions just swelling up inside.\n\nThe only 3 people who'd ever made me actually cry was my mother (she can be so hurtful at times, she was the first one who hurt my feelings during my childhood so much I curled up in the closet and cried.), my best friend (though we broke up long ago, she really was selfish and self-absorbed.) and my fiance (we've had a few big fights. He cried when he saw me cry. :|).\n\nI can understand it must be really frustrating, but for me, I realised we don't cry because a certain button in us has to be pushed.\nYou would know...have you ever thought or talked about a certain topic which you felt overwhelming emotion about? That's the button. One day, I suggest you sit down in a quiet spot where you can contemplate, and search that button and push it.\nYou might find that the tears that come out, might feel rather liberating.\n\n\nJenova\n(d.yuffie@gmail.com)

If you have a history of depression, you may want to consult your doctor, but if you're just having a down day, get in your comfiest pj's, grab a nice blankey and a box of kleenex, and cry it out honey!\nFeel better! =D

Everybody will react differently. Are you sure its from the session or is it just a coincidence? It doesn't mean anything, just that your body was really tired and drained after the session.

A lot of things can make you so tired. Lack of sleep is an obvious one. Stress can make you feel tired. Also, it may be a good idea to check your blood checked at the doctor's office. You could have mono or be anemic, low red blood cell count. That would cause you to be fatigued and feel sleepy. Try eating better as well because you could be lacking important vitamins.

Well this could be both physical and emotional? Depression makes many stay in bed and very tired, but also low blood sugar, mono, ect. You need to make an apt. with your medical doctor so he/she can take blood work. This is the place to start. If you know you are depressed although, you can either talk to your medical doctor or you can speak to a professional about whats going on. I would speak to your medical doctor first and let him order blood work for you. It may be just that you like to sleep. Good Luck and please make an appointment with you doctor!

It really depends.  Crying can be a good stress reliever.  Depending on how old you are, you could also have a tendency to cry more because of hormone swings.  If you like to cry and it helps you relieve stress, then don't worry about it.  I have friends who cry multiple times a week and they are perfectly normal (well, mostly).  If you cry all the time (everyday, multiple times a day) but you don't know why you are crying, then you might want to be worried.  I personally only cry a few times a year (besides when I'm watching movies).  So it really depends.  But please do not cry to get attention.

It's a strange thing but sometimes too much sleep can actually leave you feeling tired, but I dunno any more than that.  Maybe you are just so rested that your body and mind are waking gradually.
