Your T will be able to help most if you are straight with her.
Yeah. My mom is quite over dramatic.

The second she sounded scared, I scaled it back a little bit. Then again, I might not have scaled it back because I implied that I was in danger of killing myself now and then I corrected it and reassured her that wasn't the case. It was still probably good that she did experience that because I don't know I've ever been able to fully communicate how distressed I get. I still don't want her to worry. And I feel weird about the fact that I was so open. I don't know why. I keep thinking that she will now change her opinion on me because I cried and told her that I really really miss her. I don't like feeling vulnerable. I didn't feel vulnerable on the phone with her because I was more scared of my mom than I was scared of expressing my feelings.

On a totally different note, I passed my road test today. I think I have a problem with being incapable of feeling proud of myself. I just feel stupid for getting it 4 years late.
