My T told me that since I have such a strong tendency to minimize painful events that it's good for me to write it out while I have details/emotions. That way he gets a better view into what's really going on in my head at the time. That sounds like what you just did. Nice work, lady.

If you were doing this for attention, I can't believe that you'd be worried about doing so. Your focus would be on you, not on your effect on other people.
