This often happens to me when something happens that is a setback. I can be content in the moment, then something happens which I interpret as "i've failed". This leads to "I'm a failure", and then to the saga of life is worthless, I'm a bad person, etc. I wish I could stop the whole process by just saying "oops" and just going forward.
