I had to take an intake assessment at the clinic where my therapist practices before I got assigned a therapist, and of course some of the questions related to this. I've hidden many aspects of what goes on inside my head for many, many years, but several months ago, when I decided enough was enough and to seek help, I resolved to be completely honest, frank, and upfront about everything I've ever done, thought, or felt.

So I was honest with the social worker administering the assessment, so she knew before I even sat down to begin speaking with her that I'd done it in the past and had done it again very recently.
