When you don't want to worry anyone or be a burden

I know this feeling very well, it's a feeling I get when my Nan attend appointments with me, I hold back on so much info, that i'm just going round in circles.
I'll be glad to start psychology soon in October and I won't be letting her in for the therapy sessions because I just feel like he's gonna peel back so many layers and I don't want to worry her or feel like a burden, which I know I am sometimes.
The last time I went to an appointment with out her, I had phoned up that morning to book a same day appointment with my doctor, he was straight on the phone to the Crisis Team saying "can I refer a patient for hospital admission" so I'm hoping I don't have to do that again because all the crisis team did was ask my doctor if I was related to my sister (they did give her name but I'm not mentioning it here) and he said yes, but that shouldn't even be a question you ask someone who wanted to die the night before. I waited 4 hours, my family were wondering what was going on as I had mentioned to them that it was a medication review as the meds I was on was making me sick which again made sure that they weren't worrying about me because if I had told the truth, they definitely would have worried.
Anyway, hope you're all doing well.
