I wish I didn't do this though. I feel like I'm being a bad patient by not expressing myself properly because it leads to therapy not being very productive... Gahh! Whenever I try I just "choke" and my mind just feels like tv static. And then ofc, afterwards I'm thinking about all the things I wish I could have said -_-

No, you're not "being a bad patient by not expressing myself properly because it leads to therapy not being very productive... " It's what
therapy and
healing are about, and we go to professionals (e.g. therapists, psychiatrists) because they work to find the "you" you hide & teach you skills so
you can choose not to do that.
Personally, I have a collection of facial masks & never leave home without one. There are some folks who both know me but don't know I'm one & the same "person"--I can present so differently. It's not by choice that I'm this way, just my default coping fake-out. My road is loooong

RE: your post....
Maybe someone already suggested it and I missed it--missed or forgot two secs later ...
Could you print your PC posts, editing out everything (name, website, etc) except the actual text?
