I heard "somewhere" that crying actually helps you feel better. I think they said it releases some hormone or chemicals that decreases stress and also removes toxins or waste in the tears.

Not sure if that is true, and don't remember where I heard/read it.

Does anyone know if that is accurate?:confused:

I don't know. Just 'because' ...... I've been crying off and on all evening .... I feel like crap ..... I don't feel any better at all.

lol Well I did say I wasn't sure. However, if it's true maybe you would have felt worse, or it might take time. I really am not sure. That's why I was asking if anyone knew?

I know when I cry, at least during it I am a mess! So I agree imho it doesn't appear to, but I know I did hear that so just curious to the validity. Maybe I should google it. Hmmm?

Hi!
It's so strange, about what I ment about melancholy in a good way.
Nyx, you said it so right: "It's kind of living with the softer side of you". I like that! Would have liked to write more about it, but I'm just getting off topic... Mixing in a whole lot of different things, and I just realised that this should be an inspirational part of the forum...

tch75, you're welcome to join any other discussion or start one of your own, if you feel like it. Or maybe if you feel like talking about this topic but it fits better in another category, we could ask Cherryblossom to move it. Or maybe you could just speak your mind here. I don't think anyone will mind.
