Why is it when you cry......?

When you cry, you're releasing emotion that has been stored up inside you, whether it's crying at a favorite movie or after a painful event in your life. Mostly after a painful event has happened, one tends to "store" the pain within themselves and the body keeps going purely on adrenaline...a defense mechanism. When the body is finally allowed to release the pain through crying, the act of crying itself allows the adrenaline release to stop...it's the body's way of allowing itself to heal and rest, thus the feeling of exhaustion is finally felt.

Crying is an Emotion, emotion are tied to the chemicals that you release in the body when you are feeling a certain way. what ever hormones your body release when you cry makes you sleepy or exhaust.

note: The way people feel is due to what chemical your brain releases into your body. This what love is a chemical. IT's Quite natural though.

Crying is an emotional outlet, you feel exhausted afterwards because you've gottin rid of the tenson, even if you didn't solve the problem

Emotional upheavals take more out of the body than almost anything. A scare, a moment of true joy, etc are draining.

Emotional exhaustion...the emotions have a huge impact on the body and our body reflects our emotional state.

I only get this way when I am completely distressed about a situation. And I have only cried this extremely a handful of times

I know what you mean, that happens to me too, maybe it just takes alot out of you, like emotionally, when you're emotionally exhausted, your whole body gets tired...idk

because you suffer emotional exaustion after crying which it harder on you than physical exhaustion

i know what you mean. i just feel totally drained after i cry, but i don't really feel better afterward like everyone says i should.

you are down and you feel exhausted
