Can crying too much effect my eyes, skin, or any health problems?

I know it's good to cry and all that it releases stress and what not.. but I cry every single day and it's prob. been over a month, i'm going through some tough times in my life and i'm on antidepressants, but i really just want to know how crying will effect my skin, bc it seems to be irritated. Thanks!

I'm pretty sure it doesn't. I mean, its just water right? It's normal to cry and there's absolutely nothing wrong with it.

If it is irritating your skin then it might be connected to the crying. Just remember, to use the right products, wash your skin every morning and night and have a good rest.

I hope that helped!

Humans have been crying for years, and animals cry too. I think tears are water and salt because they taste like it. try this link it has a lot of info (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tears).

and i found this on the internet.

They contain Sodium Chloride (NaCl) which accounts for the salty taste.
In fact, the sodium chloride concentration in tears is about the same as
the one of oceans, evidently a consequence of our aqueous past.

Tears also contain a little bit of mucus, a lot of antibodies and plenty
of lysozyme, an antibacterial enzyme. These components protect, humidify,
and lubricate the eye surface so that it stays healthy and shiny.


I hope this answers your question.

when i cry a lot it seems like little vessels under my eyes break and i get little red dots like freckles on my skin. good luck and be strong: "this too shall pass..."

Crying is a good release, you just need to put some cold compresses on your eyes when you are done crying. Try not to rub your face a lot when you are crying. And, if you are crying while on an antidepressant, you might want to let your dr. know - maybe you are on the wrong one or dose.
