I can imagine that feels awful for you, but oh I would LOVE to do this, just once though
I know my T can see how much I am hurting, so does take me seriously, but still I'd love to be able to cry.

This is often the kind of crying that I do at home when alone. I don't often make a noice when I cry either, like I am scared someone will hear me.

I think I'll pass, thanks!
