Yes they are not the cheeriest of thoughts to wake up to and for me, I go through a cycle of a particular thing, that triggers certain feelings, which then leads automatically to those thoughts. It is pretty tiresome some days and Anika you are right in highlighting that it can be a block to other more positive things in life.

But I do wonder whether once someone has had significant thoughts like these, that there is that pathway set up in the brain that is always just waiting to get triggered again.
