I will admit, I am a cry baby when it comes to some movies. I notice that sometimes it's a bit relieving when you get a good cry out. It sometimes feels like a weight is lifted off of you. I think crying is very helpful, in that it allows you to just let it out. Sometimes letting out those feelings eases that depression a bit. With that being said, does crying during a movie help you? Does it make things better after getting that cry out?
