*On the tears people shed😿

🌼🌼
Hello. I'm Umeko, a former nurse.

This time, I would like to write about tears.

People shed tears when they are sad, frustrated, or happy.
Babies communicate their needs to their parents by crying.

Of course, tears also play a constant physiological role in protecting the eyeballs from dryness, keeping them moist and shielded. They also flow reflexively when a foreign object enters the eye to help remove it.
I currently have dry eyes and they are stinging😅😅. ← I can't live without my hyaluronic acid eye drops.

Pros and cons of shedding tears and crying

Pros
・Stress relief effect ➡ Shedding tears reduces cortisol, a stress hormone, which makes the parasympathetic nervous system dominant and provides a relaxing effect.
・Emotional detox ➡ By releasing emotions, you can let out negative feelings like sadness and anger that have built up deep inside.
・Fostering empathy ➡ By expressing your emotions, you can gain empathy and understanding from others.
・Sleep aid effect ➡ After crying, you feel refreshed and can fall into a deep sleep along with a sense of fatigue.
・Pain relief ➡ The endorphins contained in tears can be expected to have a pain-reducing effect.
・Communication ➡ Crying serves as a non-verbal means of communication to convey your feelings.

Cons
・Depressing your mood ➡ Crying can sometimes prolong pessimistic feelings.
・Impact on those around you ➡ Continuing to cry can sometimes give a negative impression to those around you. Crying can also leave others unable to say anything.
・Temporary effect ➡ It may not lead to a fundamental solution.

How to hold back tears in public

There are times when you want to hold back tears so you don't make the people around you feel uncomfortable, right?
In such cases:
・To control your emotions, try to build self-confidence in your daily life, or consult with someone in advance to prevent your emotions from becoming overwhelmed.
・Keep a certain distance from things or people that cause you stress.
・Try to look at things from other perspectives.
・Take a deep breath to calm your mind.
・Let what people say wash over you. Learn the habit of letting things slide.
・If it becomes difficult to control your emotions, you become anxious, suffer from insomnia, or it starts to interfere with your daily life, one option is to consult an occupational physician, occupational health nurse, or nurse, or visit a psychiatrist or psychosomatic clinic.

There are also cunning women who use the fact that men are left speechless when women cry as a weapon to get ahead in life😅.

That's all from Umeko.
Thank you for reading until the end.
