Hi, well I have mixed experiences. Most of the time I am similar to you, in that I choke it back, it's how I've been my adult life. Very rarely cry, maybe just a little prickle.

In depression however I would cry and cry, often about no one particular thing, it was exhausting. Maybe it was a build up of bottled up emotion I don't know.

Not sure I'm going to be much help here seeing as I haven't really found a great conclusion, but I have found that movies can be a good emotional release (when sitting alone or in the darkness of the theatre no one can see me so it feels 'okay' somehow). Toy Story 3
