Sometimes "Suck it the fuck up" is good advice, sometimes it isnt. Sometimes "Process this later" is healthy, sometimes it isnt.
Emotional health is knowing what you need and when.

I’m a huge fan of embrace the suck and cut slingload
"Embrace the suck" is a big one for me. I work outdoors and unless the weather is dangerous you still have to get it done. So when proper shit weather hits I just laugh now because while its going to be terrible its going to be an experience.
Like that time I did 10 hours in 40c heat during a dust storm, wearing a respirator. Worst day ever... hell of an experience though.
I think that it's healthy when you have to do something right fucking now. Otherwise, no, be in the moment.
I honestly read this and until I saw the comments I assumed they were gaming and she locked in league champ select which is a valid time to cry seeing as youre about to play league.
I genuinely lold. I also still kinda miss lol
Told my 5 year old to cry quietly once... cried louder.
Its terrible advice. Crying is good for you.
It's terrible advice if you struggle with it.
I however cry quite easily. In hindsight all this "don't suppress your feelings" advice honestly always felt more directed at boys and men.
Learning to turn off and distract yourself from bad feelings is also a skill. I think quite a few people - especially women - struggle with that, me included.
Crying is good for you. Lighthearted encouragement and camaraderie is also good for you.
Eh, it depends on the situation. There is definitely a time and place for locking your emotions down. Most people will never need it though.
Maybe for the sake of maintaining social status, sure, but that's a sacrifice. Its just straight up physically unhealthy to stifle crying however.
Oh no I mean like physical requirements. Like on the side of a mountain you're climbing.
Cry all day then for maximum health?
Save your tears today
You might need them tomorrow
Mine ran out too soon
I don't feel healthy :'(
Cry harder?
