suppression triggers high cortisol and by masking you are working harder to suppress your emotions triggering an influx in cortisol. so cortisol can block serotonin and dopamine which will make it even harder to actually reach happiness and satisfaction. if you let your emotions out and discontinue the masking you can replenish (slowly) your dopamine and serotonin bringing you back at baseline or above. Also when you allow yourself to cry you actually release stress hormones and releases

oxytocin and endorphins which is why you get a sense of relief after crying. so my advice is don’t fake it because it puts you in a deeper spiral and the other option (ending it all) will not benefit anything, anyone, or yourself.
