1 . It can be really frustrating when you want to stand up for yourself but always feel the tears coming—especially when you know that what you have to say is valid and important.
Taking deep breaths activates a natural relaxation response. If you feel like you're about to cry, you're likely feeling stressed and overwhelmed. By taking deep breaths, you're sending a message to your brain to calm down—your heart rate, blood pressure, and breathing will all decrease.
Another way to prevent yourself from crying is to deliberately pause a little. Rather than going on and on, say what you want to and then stop and wait for the other person to respond.
But if you let yourself get caught up in your frustration and sadness all at once, you may be more likely to begin crying.
It's okay if you aren't successful on your first couple of tries. It's important to recognize that not only is crying a common and understandable reaction to emotional distress, but that you can still make a stand and get your point across even if you are crying.
