I've felt very similar to how you do now, it really isn't unusual - who wouldn't want to go to thier T and tell them how much better they feel? But it doesn't always work like that. Ts are used to the ups and downs of their clients, and I'm sure yours will understand how you are feeling about not getting better.
How your T feels is *not* your responsibility, all you should do is tell the truth, and it is up to them how they deal with it. I had a really hard time with this, and wanted to protect my T and tell her things were OK when they weren't, but in the end that wasn't helping me. I found that the more I revealed, however bad I felt, or whatever thoughts I had, it meant that she could begin to help me - she couldn't help until I could trust that she could handle what I was telling her.
