None of what I'm about to say is advice, just my experience. I'm an oldish person who's been dealing with this for decades. I lost a parent when I was a preteen and sort of slammed the brakes on my feelings as a way to cope.
I apologize in advance for the indelicate comparison I'm about to make, but I recently had my first experiences with psilocybin, and found that (at least for me) it acted as a sort of "emotional laxative". It didn't cause me to immediately break down and sob or anything, but over the following weeks I had brief moments where I actually felt some of these clogged-up emotions and was able to open up the release valve a bit.
Afterward, listening to certain emotionally-charged songs or certain types of cinematic scenes was occasionally enough to tip me over into a short crying jag. This would last a minute or two, then I'd suddenly be back to "normal", but with a strong sense of relief from getting some of that out of my system.
This appears to have many (all?) of them just skimming by searching for "Subject:".
At very least it has this one that has lived rent-free in my brain for like a quarter-century now:

Might I sugest agin, a skul-gun for my head. Yesterday in Batery Park, some
scum we all know pushes smack for NSF gets jumpy and draws. I take 2 .22's,
1 in flesh, 1 in augs, befor I can get out that dam asalt gun.
If I could kil just by thought, it would be beter. Is it my job to be a
human target-practis backstop?
I sometimes wonder what someone's reaction would be if you were to go back in time and be like "hey, I just listened to something you wrote being played 200-some-odd years after your death via technology you would never understand. shit slaps man, good job"
What? It's a perfectly cromulent word.

Actually that might shoot right past Skynet and go straight to AM from "I Have No Mouth".

That was 100% a "whoosh" on my part, had just rolled out of bed and brain wasn't firing on all cylinders yet.
