Is crying good for you? If so how?
Yes, crying can be considered a coping mechanism.
Crying is a natural human response to emotional stress and can serve as a way to:
Release pent-up emotions:
Crying allows for the expression of difficult feelings, such as sadness, grief, or anger.
Reduce stress:
Crying can activate the parasympathetic nervous system, which helps to calm the body and reduce stress levels.
Improve mood:
Crying can release endorphins, which have mood-boosting effects.
Promote self-soothing:
Crying can be a comforting and soothing activity that helps to regulate emotions.
Communicate needs:
Crying can signal to others that we are experiencing distress and may need support.
It's important to note that excessive or uncontrolled crying can be a sign of an underlying mental health condition, such as depression or anxiety. If you are concerned about your crying habits, it is recommended to consult with a healthcare professional.

absolutely crying is healthy and necessary
I found through a lot of the hardships I've faced, I start to surpress crying. Either it wasn't the time or I didn't want to feel things. After awhile, I would eventually break down when it got too much.
What I realized was, whenever I start to cry, and surpress it, I need to schedule out a cry. So if something comes up but it's "not a good time" if if it's a what I would thing would have been a "small" cry, I still make a note to revisit whatever came up to me.
This as significantly helped me, because crying is a release for me, and my first go to to cope.
