cryfest
Extended emotional breakdown
A cryfest is an occasion of intense or prolonged crying, especially one shared by multiple people or drawn out dramatically: The finale had us all in a total cryfest.
The term often carries a slightly mocking tone, suggesting the crying is excessive or self-indulgent.
Also spelled cry-fest or cry fest.
