Yeah I definitely do a lot of that to myself. I've taken the habit of then arguing with myself over it... (I took the stance of viewing my issues as being ME vs MY BRAIN... and have attributed all the hateful thoughts to being my brain's fault...).
A friend of mine said this to me the other day, when I called my thoughts stupid. He said "you're not stupid. you're just wrong."
Which I was. My thoughts were super negative about myself and was predicting disaster... and I knew it, but then thought I was stupid for having those thoughts. So... a double-negative going on there I suppose.
