I'm not much of a blurter... Though I guess I blurted a little... I find it so very hard to talk about some things.

Yeah, the feeling of being pushed can physically hurt... I felt like... Either I had to blurt something or he was going to hang up the phone :-( But... I blurted. So maybe it worked after all.

It is hard to find the balance between doing the hard stuff and staying functional
