strange day

i have done well since therapy has discontinued.  not that i haven't had moments but the good out weigh those  for sure. i feel i am on the right track emotionally.  which leads me to yesterday.  we had a team building session at work and we had to reveal some personal things about our life to get to know one another.  they were innocent questions like:  what was unique/different about your childhood like and what were the 3 aspects of you life that made you who you are today. i think i had an anxiety attack.. i started sweating and literally i could not hear the people around me speaking b.c i was so worried about what i was going to say.  of course when it came to me i said for the next person to go and we ran out of time - thank God.  but the speaker realized what had happened and notice my emotions getting the best of me.  he rescued me saying sometimes you just can't reveal certain things and you don't have to share if you don't want too b.c sometimes it's too painful.  indeed it was for me and i told him i could try but rather than just my table listening that now the whole room was listening and i just couldn't and he gave me permission not too.  the other members of my table said go to the bathroom, leave for a while what ever but i felt like it was okay to cry in front of the that i didn't need to hide but that there was something i just couldn't share with just anybody but was safe with them knowing there was something... and i made it okay.  course then i worry that folks will see me as that poor crazy girl - it's too soon for them to know this about me... i was hoping they would never find out. oh well i just have to accept it i am the one in this group.  or maybe they are really like me they have just better 'canned' answers than me - maybe that's what i need to work on.
