He's asked me to write thoughts/feelings down for Monday's session, but I don't understand what he wants and I don't want to bother him with an email asking "huh?" when it's a plain and simple request (or should be). I sit to try to write some things out and it's mass confusion in my head and I end up just getting extremely pissed off and have to walk away.

Just wondering if anyone has any suggestions?

I would take the first sentence you wrote and from there expand your thought...what happens when you can't move, what exactly are the thoughts? Give a few details of your bad temper. Your T needs to get an idea of what it is you are struggling with so he can help you.
Thanks for this!
