Freaked is a good word. That is how I feel. I think I could do that at home. I guess I do that already when I
talk to people I am upset with! I cry alot when I am alone and I do express that I am very sad or angry with this person or that person. I know they are not
really there, but I do imagine me talking to them and what I would say.
But to do it in front of her?? I cannot imagine that. I am going to have to get a lot more comfortable with our relationship before I can be that vulnerable to her.
