I wonder if something specific comes to mind that you definitely know you need to say, and is deeper and scarier than you have gone in the past--but not too much deeper and scarier.

Being misunderstood is one. When I was going through the panic attacks a couple weeks ago, I felt like no one was listening to how I felt or understanding how bad and scary it was. That was #1 on my list of things to talk about last week, but I couldn't say it because I didn't want to make waves. I don't feel like all of it is directed at t, more at my pdoc, but I didn't want to make her feel bad by saying anything. And it's not something that just came up during that week, it's an old wound. I don't open myself up enough to people in my life, so when I need something I feel like my needs are downplayed because no one thinks they are that important.
