Tears contain a natural painkiller, which reduces pain and improves your mood.

Research has found that in addition to being self-soothing, shedding emotional tears releases oxytocin and endorphins. These chemicals make people feel good and may also ease both physical and emotional pain. In this way, crying can help reduce pain and promote a sense of well-being

Emotionally-triggered tear production also releases endorphins and oxytocin, which are natural pain relievers. Additionally, they contain a bacterium-killing enzyme called Iysozyme. Therefore, tears are an important part of the emotional response, of your eyes' overall health, and of your body's defense system.

Since crying has been proven to reduce stress, crying may have a positive effect on a person's skin over time,” she explains. “Skin issues such as acne and breakouts can be caused by stress, and, therefore, crying can indirectly reduce acne breakouts by reducing the stress.”

According to Frey, “Crying is not only a human response to sorrow and frustration, it's also a healthy one.” It is a natural way to reduce stress that, if left unchecked, can have negative physical effects on the body, including increased risk of cardiovascular disease and other stress-related disorders.

There are people who cry everyday for no particularly good reason, who are truly sad. And if you are tearful everyday over activities that are normal in your life, that may be depression. And that's not normal and it is treatable.

Eventually, you may not even have to make an effort to keep yourself from crying — it just doesn't happen. People often start to see crying as a sign of weakness when other people, including parents, siblings, and peers, shame them for crying in childhood. An inability to cry can also develop as a learned behavior.

Crying for long periods of time releases oxytocin and endogenous opioids, otherwise known as endorphins. These feel-good chemicals can help ease both physical and emotional pain. Once the endorphins are released, your body may go into somewhat of a numb stage. Oxytocin can give you a sense of calm or well-being.

False. Crying or feeling your emotions is definitely not a sign of weakness. ... On the contrary, it's even been said that you have to be strong to cry.
