Being able to experience emotions you've repressed for a long time is a very transitory experience, and you might cry a lot at first. This is okay! And it feels very cathartic as well when you're upset. But as you settle into understanding your emotions more, just be careful that you're not pushing yourself to the point of tears just to feel that catharsis. It's very easy to fall into a pattern of spiralling just because the only tool in your arsenal for emotional regulation is smashing the panic button. This isn't a personal failure; emotional regulation is a difficult skill to learn. If you start to feel shitty but not immediately bawling-your-eyes out shitty, do something nice for yourself; eat something, drink some water, lay down for a bit. It's not as glamorously cathartic as crying but your mind and body will thank you, and in time you'll get better at figuring out what your body wants. We're all going to make it. I love you.

not even funny how true this is for me

Yeah just grip me with a level of force beyond comprehension why don't you Ms. Ezra Furman.

Same as the journalists describing Black Rock City as all naked. Same as the right-wing religious culture warriors describing television as entirely mixed-race and gender non-conforming. Not because it's even vaguely true, we know that, but because they haven't gotten over their discomfort over the last one by the time the next one comes along. The anger, not the stimulus, is the part that's continuous, so their mind lies to them that it's "all" the thing they can't get over.
