You are doing humanly, and that is what God has lovingly made us. I dread the Examination of Conscience, too. So easy to make a list of all of it. Maybe it’s supposed to be easy, so we can take that list we don’t like to dwell on and hand it over to God. And get in return wise counsel (‘cause it sounds like you have wonderful priest) and forgiveness that lead to relief (and a lot more tears but better ones.)
Congrats!!!
