Falls,
I agree with ZH that free association writing when you hadn't had much sleep is probably not conducive to being manipulative! In fact, it was probably one of the most truthful, honest bits of journaling you've done.
As for reading too many psych books - your T has the knowledge to be able to tell you when your thoughts on a subject are accurate or not (regarding things you've read in relation to your situation). I'm reading all the time, and go to my pdoc with things like, "How can you say I don't have ADD?" and he will explain it to me. Or I'll go to my T with "I read an article about such-and-such, and it made me wonder if that's my problem..." and she'll explain to me the parallels and the likelihood, or why that's not my problem.
I apologize if I'm not making much sense. My thinking is pretty scattered. I hope you slept better last night and that your therapy session today will be productive and not overly difficult.
Take care.
