No wise guys please. I'm feeling a bit down.

Virtually always. Yes, yes, yes. A good cry is like a natural safety valve built right into us for releasing all that God-awful tension that comes with sadness or unhappiness or frustration. It is such a relief to have a good cry. I usually go outside and grab a tree, too, so all that awful energy gets "grounded out," as well. If you grab a tree and hold on tight when you let it go (cry), you will feel the earth and the life in that tree grounding you. It is a wonderful feeling. I was very upset one morning and I went for a walk in the park behind our home and I met a squirrel. He was sitting staring at me as I approached on the path. It stopped me in my tracks and I began to talk to him. "You have no idea how upset I am!" And he blinked. Then I began to cry and to my amazement, he came closer and sat down almost beside me. Well - what a comfort! I had a good cry, and when I was done, off he went. I will never forget it - that little squirrel.

A good cry always helps. Preferably not alone but with someone very close to you. If your feeling a bit down at the moment don't drown you sorrows as this will only make you feel worse. My advise would be to go and do a bit of retail therapy followed by a long hot bubble bath.
Chin up
All the best.

It depends on the reasons why you cry. If you cry because someone has abandoned you then no it does no good at all?
If you cry because something makes you sad, then yes, it could relieve some feelings but on the whole I never cry because to solve some problem you need to act, not procrastinate.

Yes, it always does. Even if there is no one else to talk with you, if you can find someone you can cry with it will let your emotions out so that you can deal with them.
I had a downer week and today I just had to let everything out with my husband....he just listened and let me cry, I started feeling better almost immediately. The pressures and stresses are still there, but at least I could vent somehow. Sometimes its good to just cry with someone you know cares with you.

Yes. I'm a firm believer that crying is healthy. Sometimes you just need to break down and let it all out.
I'm sorry that you are feeling down... Lord knows I've been there. Whenever I am really sad, I usually take a bubble bath. It's hard to stay sad when you are surrounded by bubbles.

Yes, it absolutely does. Sometimes I cry myself to sleep and by morning it's like it was all a dream and I can look at things much more objectively.

Yes and no.
Yes, because you "purge" yourself of the bad feelings.
No, because it makes you all red-eyed and sniffly and your nose and eyes get all puffy.
I prefer to open a bottle of champagne, and drink it all while watching any cry-fest movie you have...Brian's Song, Terms of Endearment, Steel Magnolias, Pretty Woman...whatever you want.

Yes of course!!!
When you have a shoulder to cry on you will feel a lot better.
