You are not a loser. This isnt easy, I know. The first time I tried to give/read something that I wrote for my T I felt like such a failure and really beat myself up. I ended up giving it to the receptionist after my session and asking her to put it in my T's mailbox. I felt so cheap. One other time I wrote my T a letter and I took it to every session for four weeks before I could ever even mention it to her! Now, writing is a common thing in my therapy. My T and I look back at that letter that I carried with me for so many weeks and laugh (nicely :)) about it.
You will get there. Writing can be so powerful and my therapy wouldnt be nearly as helpful without it. I know it's rough in the begininng. Just do it, you have nothing to lose and you will feel so much better after you tell your T.
Best of luck!
