Is it normal to want to cry?

Yep.Totally normal

Yes, wanting to cry is a normal response to stress, sadness, frustration, exhaustion, or even feeling overwhelmed. You don’t need a particular reason—or to actually cry—for the feeling to be valid.

Crying is one way people release or express strong feelings, and sometimes you may feel like crying without being able to pinpoint why. That doesn’t mean you’re being dramatic; feelings don’t always arrive with a neat explanation attached.

If the urge is constant, feels overwhelming, or is getting in the way of daily life, it may help to talk it through with someone you trust or a mental health professional.
