Is crying a good coping mechanism?

Yes, sometimes you just gotta cry. Crying is a natural response to lots of emotions — sadness, anger, feeling overwhelmed. Holding it in is often harder.

But if you’re crying all the time and feel like it’s not a normal amount, you might be struggling with depression. If you’re not sure, take a mental health screen and see if something else is going on.
