When I have something that is really important and I hold it inside, hold it and hold it, then when I finally let it out...I'm drained. Emotionally and sometimes physically drained. Just an emotional melt down.
Holding so hard onto things takes energy, letting them go releases energy and that feeling can be be deceptively like feeling bad. But it's not, imo.
I'm glad you told your H. I know that was difficult for you to do, CatEyes. But you did and this is good.
I'm thinking of you. You can talk to me anytime, you know that, right?

and more hugs
