I know I'm a little late replying, but I really think you should TRY to bring it up with T. Going into therapy, I honestly NEVER thought I would go into all of this with her. But I am SO glad I did. It really does help. It is overwhelming and hard, and a lot of the time I don't know if it is helping, but then I have those moments when I realize things are changing in my head. Like CSC said, I would try writing stuff down(or bringing in what you have already written). I am still in this phase with T. I will email her to tell her I have written something(otherwise I will bring it and not give it to her and then wish I had) and then she asks if I want to give it to her then, or at the end. It's usually more helpful to just give it to her, so I don't have to sit for a week wondering what she thinks of it. But either way, its alot easier than actually SAYING anything, but it gets the ball rolling.
You don't have to be the strong one always...its time to focus on YOU and helping you. I know what it feels like to have to always pull it together and put on this image for everyone around you. But there comes a time when you have to let other people worry about themselves and focus on you  Just remember you are not complaining, and you deserve to reach out and get help!

Thank you also doodle3609. I identify with everything you said... it does stress me out when I don't bring up something, wish I had, but then it's too late. I guess it would be nice to focus on me for once, if I could wire up my brain to do that. I guess living at home still makes me worry about everyone (my sisters are home too while they study at uni), but it's not like I can move out while studying and without a job. Hmm, maybe it's not complaining. I dunno. Maybe I'll get used to talking about myself someday. But thank you! Your response isn't too late, it helped.
Can't Stop Crying, I'm feeling pretty good today. I have some days where I can convince myself it's not my fault. Today is one of them I think
