Emotions Trying To Break Out?

One of my symptoms is emotional numbness. The only things I really feel on a basis is anger and fear. But sometimes, when the kids are watching some toons, or Im listening to music I get a sudden wave of feeling. My eyes well up and my chest constricts, like I'm gonna bawl.

Then it just evaporates. Poof gone. Like I can't hold on to the emotion. Doesn't matter if I try to hold on to it or lean through it, relax or anything. It literally disappears.
Anyone?
 
I can't offer any answers but I do the same thing. My t says I have a good poker face because I don't feel anything good or bad. Not even anger. I'm working on identifying what I think might be fear with t but it's such a slow process.
But every so often I have this sensation like I'm going to finally implode, it gets to my throat and I keep thinking "I'll just let go this time" but it just goes away.

Just wanted you to know you weren't alone with this. Wish I had a fix but I haven't figured it out yet myself. :)
