Why Crying is Good for Us

Whats wrong with me? I am twenty years old sitting in my apartment at school tears pouring down my face. Love does some crazy things to you. You know I've always thought that you shouldn't stick with someone who makes you cry more than once. Isn't it inevitable though? If we all went by that, wouldn't we all be so lonely? I guess we wouldn't be crying tho. Oh if my dad saw me right now he would be so disappointed in me. Why am I putting myself into a situation that leaves me to get hurt? I already feel a little better, crying does wonders. 
I started to put my tears to good use and distracted myself with a little tear information.

Manganese helps to keep your blood pressure in line. It is shown that 88.8 percent of people done in a particular study confessed to feel relieved and less stressed out after a "good cry"; this might be due to  It can also help with boosting your immunity.
