I tend to clam up when really heavy conversations come up. Especially with my husband - and he's the one guy I know has my back! I have rejection issues so I'm always worried that what I say will be taken wrong pr poorly.
I'm getting to where I understand that it can just make it worse for my anxiety if I let it drag out. I tend to agonize over it when if I just say it, it's over.
I hope you can find a way to say what's on your mind. It's so hard though....
