Simple question with a not so simple answer...

Sometimes I think that talking in Therapy stirs the problem up - maybe you have to get through that to get to the other side - I have seen that - im sorry this may get confusing as I avoid the issue LOL ok lets just say it...... or not

side issue - how come i can speak up for others and turn into a big wet dishrag when it comes to me ? 2 times today I got somthing wrong at the shops and didnt say - "hey thats not right i wanted -......." I can speak, I did know the thing they gave me was not what i wanted/wrong, but i just said thanks and took it - its no big deal but I dont understand it......

Ok Ive put the trigger warning up so I will be blunt.. or as blunt as I can be - hmmm rambling and avoiding the issue again! simple question just ask for crying out loud!

Alright, so if you have lets say self destructive thoughts that you are controlling - discussing them in therapy may bring them out? AAARRRGGGGHHHH ! that the best i can do - so do you discuss it or not? let sleeping dogs lie - ignore it and it wil go away - yeah like that works! I'm just worrying that talking about this will make it harder to deal with when it is already hard to deal with - i know I probably should talk to T on mon about this but dont want to make it worse to a stage where it becomes even more difficult to control..... Im using distraction techniques to deal with it at the moment but talking about it...... dont know if my distraction techs will still work after that - guess im just scared thats all. sorry for such a long post

I guess i'll keep asking the question till i get the answer i want - so here it is ;
A: forget about it and it will go away
