Crying
How To Stop CryingRemember to breathe, slow down your thoughts and focus on breathing.Try smiling or laughing - it makes the brain release endorphins, chemicals which are kind of like a mild pain reliever.Push your tongue into the roof of your mouth, sounds weird but may work .Drink water - You're losing water. Taking gulps of water helps relieve that lump in your throat.Distract yourself, think of something other than crying, whether it's a poem, song, or object in the room. Describe it.
