One thing to think about is that the thoughts you are creating could be distortions. This particular distortion is called catastrophizing.

This distortion (and others) can be found if you Google CBT Thought distortions. There are thought records that I find helpful where you can look at the thought, find the feelings, rate them, see what the evidence is that supports this thought, see what evidence doesn't support the thought, find statements that are more true about the thought/situation and then re-rate your feelings with the new outlook.
Not knowing if you wanted feedback or not, I put that out there as a "here's this if you want it".
Being in the 'noticing' phase is fine, too.
You are supported!

I really did want feed back but was afraid to ask. I didn't want to be disappointed. I was feeling very low. I didn't know about this type of thinking as being an aspect of DID. I will follow up with the information you gave. I am still having difficulty with my thoughts and perceptions today. I can't think of what I was feeling when this set off. It has something to do thinking about changing the way we help each other. Something about that makes me feel like we will crumble. It scares me too much and than all terrible thoughts start endlessly runing through my head, not making sense. Making everything unreal. I feel like I could be crushed.
