/ˈkrɑɪbeɪbi/ A crybaby is someone who cries very easily and complains a lot. If you have a younger sister, you've probably called her a crybaby from time to time. You might be tempted to call someone whose feelings are very easily hurt, who is extremely sensitive and quick to burst into tears, a crybaby.
But, if you find yourself embarrassed about your excessive crying, or if you suddenly start to weep when you don't even feel sad, you could have a problem called pseudobulbar affect. Pseudobulbar affect can be caused by a number of neurological problems, such as Parkinson's disease, stroke, and head trauma.
Hormones
Hormones are the chemical messengers that control bodily functions like hunger, reproduction, emotions, and mood. "Anything that causes a shift in hormones, like premenstrual time, postpartum, or menopause, may cause women to cry more easily," Dr. Saltz says.
Everyone cries now and again, and a person may cry more on a given day for no clear reason. If crying becomes more frequent or uncontrollable and there is no apparent cause, consider consulting a medical professional. A mental health condition, hormonal imbalance, or neurological condition may be responsible.
Mood swings in females can be the result of PMS, PMDD, PME, pregnancy, and menopause. Females can also experience mood swings as a result of conditions that affect all sexes, such as mental health conditions. A doctor can diagnose the cause and recommend treatments.
In some cases, this can have to do with factors such as fatigue, stress and sleep deprivation. Some people may also experience increased crying as a side-effect of birth control pills.
Some people wrongly believe that, if it's possible to avoid crying, that's the best thing. 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.
It is so not a sign of weakness, but a sign of courage and strength. Rather than washing away your tears, allow them to awash you, because expressing how you feel through tears is healthy. They help you release emotions and create a wonderful sense of release as well as exhaustion, despite what you are going through.
You might cry when someone yells at you because you feel angry, fearful, stressed, or upset.
Blood in tears can occur with eye injuries or nosebleeds. Other causes include medications, blood disorders, uncontrolled high blood pressure, hormonal changes, or tumors. This article will explain how blood in the tears can occur, the possible causes, and how it may be treated.
In the short term, it can cause pesky problems such as irritability, anxiety, and poor sleep. But over time, repressing your tears can lead to cardiovascular diseases such as hypertension — or even cancer. Yikes.
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.
Shutting down may be an automatic defense mechanism to protect oneself from further emotional distress. Trying to muscle your way through the emotional wave that hits you during conflict can prove to be ineffective, according to a study published in Practice Innovations.
Anxiety that occurs in the higher degrees can cause even stronger emotional reactions. These strong emotional reactions can cause some people to cry. Moreover, some people cry even after an anxiety or panic attack has ended due to the after effects of experiencing such strong episodes of anxiety.
Crying is in fact a very common response to anger as anger is often the result of feelings of hurt or sadness,1 says Sabrina Romanoff, PsyD, a clinical psychologist and professor at Yeshiva University, New York City.
When it comes to acting, not all tears are created equal. To achieve an authentic-looking on-screen cry you'll need to tap deep into your emotions. The key here, however, is not to simulate crying, but to actually bring yourself to tears and do so in a way that feels natural and real.
The cause of the condition may lie in the brain or in the facial nerves, according to the report. Both the production of tears and the passing of urine are under the control of a brain region called the pons. The report is published online in the journal Pediatrics.
Adrenaline is at work getting the muscles ready to fight or flee from the perceived threat. When we're anxious, a region of the brain called the amygdala responds to the threat by increasing the production of adrenaline, the 'fight-or-flight' hormone.
