The best/worst thing that could have happened to me

I think the real issue is that I know I need to be honest with T about the helpline and the things I say on there and what need it serves, etc. but I know once I do that, I will have to stop, because she could just tell everyone there that if they get x call/chat not to engage with it. And I'm not sure I'm ready/able to just stop. Part of me wants to, but part of me just isn't sure about it. So I can't be honest with T. But I have to be honest with T. So I feel stuck.

I don't think she will do that. She is there to help you, not stop you from calling. She would want you to call and express your feeling but she would want you not to make up stuff as it's harmful to you in a way!.she can help develop healthy coping skills. it will be hard but once you get over the fear it will help you a lot. X you can practice what you want to say and empathize that I want to stop but I am not sure if I am ready or able too. How can I work the through this with you and learn different ways of coping etc

She would probably be fine with me calling about real stuff, but the made up stuff, I think she would have to tell everyone she works with that this one particular caller is just making stuff up and don't engage, which would put her in an uncomfortable position as my therapist (confidentiality) but also out of loyalty to the people she works with...and I am also embarrassed about the one story that I make up, and I'm ashamed of it, and part of me worries that she may have unknowingly taken my call/chat and already knows the story but thought it was true and would feel violated if it turns out she had taken my chat and engaged with the story and tried to help "me" and then found out it was just her client making up stories on a helpline.
