Tears remove depressant substances from the body
Psychologists have found that the tears that fall out when a person is sad have a high protein content. This protein is a harmful substance produced due to mental depression, and depressing substances accumulate in the body and are detrimental to human health. Research by experts at the Psychiatric Laboratory at St. Paul-Remse Medical Center in the United States found that tears can relieve a person’s feelings of depression.
They found through chemical analysis of tears that they contain two important chemicals, enkephalin complex and prolactin, which are present only in tears that are shed under emotional influence and are not measured in tears that are shed under stimulation such as onions. Thus, they believe that tears can remove the chemicals that accumulate in the body that cause depression, thus reducing psychological stress.
Crying should not last more than 15 minutes
However, it should not last more than 15 minutes. The first thing you need to do is to let go of your depressed feelings and relieve them, otherwise it will be harmful to your body. The company’s main goal is to provide the best possible service to its customers.
“Crying” is not the best choice to reduce stress
“Crying is a way to vent stress, and it can be done occasionally. The fact that women are more likely than men to choose crying as a way to reduce stress is related to their physiological characteristics.” The first thing you need to do is to get a good idea of what you’re getting into,” said Zhao Lijuan, chief counselor at the Zhengzhou Huaxia Psychological Counseling Vocational Training School, “but not everyone is suitable for crying to reduce stress. Generally speaking, the underlying personalities differ in their ability to cope with stress.”
Usually when people cry, their emotional intensity decreases by 40%, but after the depressed mood is vented and relieved, they can’t cry anymore, or it will be harmful to their bodies. The reason is that people’s gastrointestinal function is extremely sensitive to emotions. If you are sad or cry for too long, the movement of the stomach slows down and gastric juice secretion decreases, which can affect a person’s appetite and even cause stomach problems.
According to Lydia Zhao, there are many sources of stress, and too much stress can be related to poor interpersonal relationships. If you have good interpersonal support such as family, friends and colleagues when facing stress, you can effectively resolve it. In this good interpersonal relationship can also get pleasant emotions, will be more optimistic to deal with stress. “Reducing stress by crying is not wrong and can be used as a normal emotional outlet, but there is no need to use it regularly. It is not the preferred way to reduce stress, there are more and better ways to reduce stress. If you cry a lot and your emotions are not well adjusted, you will only get sadder and sadder.” said Chang Guosheng, deputy director of the Department of Mental Health at the Ninth People’s Hospital in Zhengzhou.
Stress can also be transformed into motivation
“In fact, having stress is not necessarily a bad thing, it’s how we view it. Usually, the right amount of pressure will turn into motivation.” Chang said, “Stress creates anxiety when it arises, but it also drives us to complete our work and set goals.”
Crying is a way for modern working women to find inner peace and a respite from their stressful lives, but while grief can relieve anxiety to some extent, it is a positive step to try to reconcile social relationships and face up to your psychological problems.
So the first thing to do in the face of stress is to be clear about where you are and understand why you are depressed and tense, whether it is physiological or caused by your mental state. Do not think that stress has only adverse effects, but should go more to develop the beneficial factors of stress. Appropriate stress is not a bad thing, and if it is properly regulated, it will be transformed into motivation; crying does not solve the underlying problem.
