you feel like you have a safe person in your life right now who you can talk to when that urge to let it out finally hits

After leaving a toxic or stressful situation, your mind and body may enter a protective state of numbness or emotional shock to cope with the sudden change. Crying often requires a sense of safety and witness. Talking to someone allows you to feel validated, which can help unlock emotions that stay locked away when you are by yourself.
