Emotional Release: Many years ago joni mitchell sang a song called "people's parties" -- one of the lines was, "laughing and crying, you know it's the same release." in some ways this may be true -- freeing emotion from suppression can be a relief. But you may also have some sadness that's not being addressed, and needs to be cared for. Talk to someone about it -- many therapists available to help you process it.
