Laura.... (if okay)
When one starts therapy, alot of times things tend to get and/or feel worse because we are starting to work on the things that have haunted us the most during our lives. It brings everything closer to the surface. This is very scary, but is very normal and I guarantee you that your T will understand this and is prepared to help you through it!!
If you have trauma in your past and find it difficult to trust others, all of your experiences right now make complete sense. I experience similar things myself.
I just wanted you to know that you're not alone, and you're not crazy, and that if things do feel like they're getting worse, this can be a normal process when beginning T. I encourage you to communicate these feelings and perceptions with your T. He/She will be glad you did. They will not run from you or be disappointed in you. Chances are they are expecting this, as it happens so often for people when they start addressing their issues.
Hang in there, and keep posting for support if/when you're comfortable. You are doing a very good thing for yourself in going to T.
If you ever want to talk privately, I am always available by PM. 
Take care!!
P.S. You are sooo NOT crazy.
