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.

Its terrible advice. Crying is good for you.
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.

Traditionally, to be "locked in" on something would mean to be locked in on your target, goal, etc.
Telling someone to lock in or "lock it in" is kind of like a nice way of saying "get your shit together" or "focus up". I hear it in sports/ gaming lingo.
