When I feel down, first I explore why I feel down. I let myself feel whatever the feelings are that created that sense of wanting to cry.
After I acknowledge the source of my feelings, I can address the root cause. Whatever is could be causing me to feel down, whether it be exercise, need for communication, food, etc, if I take the time to think, it helps.
It also allows me to usually jump right back in to feeling like myself. But, sometimes I just need to cry out the grief or pain and then I'm good! It's ok to just let it out.
