I SO understand this. Therapy has made me aware that I HAVE needs and feelings, and it does make me so uncomfortable. I often say to my T that I am now "too sensitive" - and he always challenges me on it. We are human beings - not super humans who can just go, go, go, taking care of everyone around us, denying our own needs forever and ever and ever. We're just us.

I think it's common - even expected - to feel worse in therapy before we feel better. But there is a REASON you decided to start therapy in the first place. When I start to doubt being in therapy, I think back to where I was at when I finally picked up the phone and called a therapist for the first time. I do not want to go back to that place. This place isn't that great either, right now, but I feel like at least I am now on a journey that might lead to healing. Before I was just going deeper and deeper into the muck.
