Your emotion is not surprising
I had the exact same reaction! I was leaving a workplace that had becoming increasingly toxic and Dilbert-esque, and yet I was quite emotional when I left, and became a bit depressed for a few months.
Many of define ourselves (much more than we aware) by the work we do, or the role we play in an organization.
Although I had read about this and thought I had prepared myself, it still hit me. I ERed in October, and have been consulting part-time ever since, because of that need for an identity. I'm now ready to stop consulting, but unfortunately have 10 more months on a contract I signed while still emotional.
