forms in your throat a lump forms in
5:52
your throat a lump in the back of the
5:54
throat is frequently a warning
5:56
indication that a crying fit is about to
5:58
happen according to researchers it
6:01
results from a conflict between the
6:03
parasympathetic and sympathetic nervous
6:05
systems over the glotus or space between
6:08
the vocal folds it frequently happens
6:10
when someone is attempting to contain
6:12
their tears the flight or fight response
6:14
in the body is managed by the
6:16
sympathetic nervous system it stops
6:18
Superfluous processes like digesting and
6:21
urinating in stressful or dangerous
6:23
situations to preserve energy so that
6:25
you can react to a threat the glaus then
6:28
enlarges to allow more air to enter
6:30
since the body now needs more oxygen the
6:33
glotus closes as a result of the
6:35
parasympathetic division's attempt to
6:37
return the body to normal the sensation
6:39
of a lump in the throat is essentially
6:41
caused by several muscles constriction

glotus simultaneously bolsters your

which encourages empathy and an
7:02
emotional bond we strive not to cry in
7:05
front of strangers because we don't like
7:08
to display our Frailty to them instead
7:12
we hold back on crying your nose begins
7:15
to run your nose begins to run tears are
7:20
often associated with a runny nose it's
7:22
true that letting yourself cry may get
7:24
messy this has very simple biology at
7:27
its core the nasolacrimal ducks in your
7:30
nose allow tears to exit your tear ducts
7:32
which are located beneath your eyelids
7:35
there they combine with mucus and other
7:37
elements found inside your nose such as
7:40
allergies or blood then this liquid
7:43
spills out it's just the tears draining
7:46
and combining with the already mucus
7:49
you're not producing new mucus tears
7:52
stream down our faces and might give us
7:55
a stuffy nose when they flow more
7:57
quickly and in larger quanti ities than
8:00
they are drained heal sorrow heal sorrow

8:07
process you are aware that each step

while some people find solace in letting
8:17
go of their emotions in order to grieve

their loss not everyone finds that
8:22
crying helps throughout this process
8:24
weeping can alleviate the intensity of
8:26
pain whether it be mental or physical
8:29

8:31
into the body which helps numb the pain
8:34
and make you feel generally calm this
8:36
mechanism also contributes to self-
8:38
soothing by reducing the severity of
8:40
pain experienced enhances interaction

no surprise that crying was originally
8:48
used by babies to attract their mother's

Manganese a mineral that influences mood
