The reason that made you cry is also important in determining your mood. For instance, according to a lab study, if you cry after watching a sad movie or when something tragic happened to someone else and you have to see that, it will take some time to feel better again after crying.
The subjects of that study said that they felt worse about 20 minutes after watching a sad movie, but approx. 90 minutes later, their mood improved significantly. That being said, although you might feel bad right after watching a sad story with someone or something, it may take a while for your mood to enhance.
