I lost something that doesn't belong to me. It's important. Now I have to confess. I think I'm going to throw up. I was crying walking down the street, but at least it's raining, so it felt appropriate.
I have to go and get this over with now. Like a band-aid. Rip it off fast, then the hurt's over quickly. (that's such a lie) I want the pain to end. I want to be punished too. I'm going to be so humiliated. I don't know if I can handle it.

I think I've been there. All you can do, like you already know, is just be honest.
It's not one of the most pleasant things to have to fess up to.

Okay, I was met with a look of shock and horror, but the affected parties (yes, that's right- plural) told me what I need to do to restore the property. One of them, just looked at me with her jaw agape. speechless.
So, it's over with, right? How come I still feel nauseous and panicky?

When I get that kind of look I'm usually still a bit freaked out. Sometimes I'm just freaked out for no apparent reason though.
I find myself wishing that life could be easier.

Yeah, I was freaked out. I was so freaked out that I gave myself a stomachache and said incoherent things at a meeting right afterwards. I even brought my computer to the meeting and checked babble while my colleague was asking me about my research. (this probably increased my incoherence...) But it was a panicky feeling superimposed onto a very dark mood, and that's the worst. Panic, helplessness, and hopelessness, all wrapped into one. Goody. Well, at least now I have an icebreaker for my next session with T.

I bought them a new one. Then I had to explain it all to the person who checked my credit card account (hubby) umm, what is this strange charge?
TRIPLE humiliation. but, he's seen me do a lot of uncharacteristic things lately. He didn't give me a hard time.
i'm off.
