I have this whole problem of being too passive and wanting to impress those around me or make them like me, so I think that my darkest parts of me should really be hidden when I know that she wouldn't be judging me and can't really be impressed with my things and won't ever "like" me.

And I'm not suicidal right now, but I have been in the past and have made plans etc. So even though I'm not planning anything right now, my past is on my mind and it feels like such a secret.
And I have so much trouble showing emotions and I must seem pretty on edge during my sessions but I tend to laugh and smile a lot even though I'm so anxious I can barely breathe
It's such a complicated situation and I'm such a difficult patient
