The other day I was crying like I hadn’t in years because of a terrible panic attack, I couldn’t stop, my mother gave me a glass of water and forced my to drink it. While I was drinking I stopped feeling tense, I calmed down pretty fast from the emotions and my breathing immediately stabilised. I was ‘done’ crying. She said she used to do that when I was a child, and that it would work too.
Why does such a simple thing stop such a heavy emotional response?
In: Biology
does this work for numb/quiet crying as well?
