Your comments Shezbut made me think of something else my therapist would talk to me about when we talked about these issues. He talked about how there was this cycle of thought to feeling to action. The trick, he said, is to stop yourself at the thinking. That sounds like what Shezbut was saying, but maybe different words? He always told me that by the time I got from thought to feeling it was too late, and that catching it at the thought and correcting the false thought was the key to breaking the cycle.
Wishing you well.

And thanks again for sharing this, you are not alone in these struggles.
