You may have to wait a few minutes before you stop crying. You will eventually stop. It is better to let yourself cry than force yourself to stop. Pent up emotions are being expressed when you cry which allows the body to release tension and recover.  If you are in a time crunch and you need to stop crying, tell yourself, “You need to stop crying and find the calm inside you.” Repeat this until you stop. You can also purposely startle yourself. This will create a quick shift in your emotions and will help you stop. Simply saying, “Oh!” might do the trick. Redirect your emotions with a pinch to your arm. This can cause enough of a distraction to switch off your crying response. Once you have stopped crying, distract your thoughts away from the reason for crying. If you just received news that someone passed away, focus on what you need to do that day. Crying is related to many positive events as well as sad or maddening events. Allow yourself to cry until you stop. When you cry, facial nerves are stimulated, which causes the skin to increase in temperature. Cool water splashed on your face will lessen the heat. Let the water run over your hands and wrists and splash your face a few times. Use a towel or whatever is available to pat your face dry. You want to clear you nose of mucus. Once you've blown your nose, look in a mirror to make sure your nose is clean. Take a few cleansing breaths to release the residual emotions and fill your lungs. Crying can constrict your breathing, and slow breathing can restore normal function. Your body will benefit from the additional oxygen. Avoid rapid breathing that can turn into hyperventilating, which can trigger a panic attack. When a person cries, blood rushes to the face, eyes and nose areas. Once you stop crying, the skin will eventually return to your normal color.  Use a cold compress and place it over your eyes, nose and face. This will speed up the calming process. If you are at work or elsewhere and a cold compress is not available, wet paper towels and spin them in the air to cool them. This will do the trick. Fan you face using a piece of paper or whatever you can find to allow air to rush over your face. This will cool your face, which will reduce the redness. If you wear makeup, remove any residual make up with a wet tissue or towel. If you are at home, use makeup remover. Use a concealer to cover the reddened areas, and finish with a dusting of powder. Reapply your lipstick and you are almost ready. If you don’t have any eye drops, you will simply need to put your sunglasses on to hide your eyes.
توقفي عن البكاء. اغسلي وجهك بالماء. مخّطي أنفكِ بمنديلٍ ورقي أو منشفة. تنفسي. تعاملي مع احمرار العينيْن والأنف والوجه. أعيدي وضع المكياج خاصتك. استعملي قطرة العين للتخلص من الاحمرار.
