panicking...
should I go back...
nervous...
wanting to cancel...
and at least three other threads which are variations on the same theme. My conclusion:
It is perfectly normal to feel these things.
Let's face it, revealing secrets one longs to keep hidden, showing the bleeding and infected wounds that refuse to heal; lowering defenses and taking yet another risk... the feeling of being examined in a spotlight... none of this is FUN.
Of course there is anxiety.  hang on folks, there is healing out there. I am banking on it.
