When you've got bad thoughts and feelings in your head, they bring up more bad thoughts and feelings, over and over and over and over and over and over and over again, round and round and round in circles. It's a self-reinforcing downward spiral that can be really hard to stay out of once it get's entrenched. You may even get the feeling that you are powerless to escape these things. You may even get to be AFRAID of your own feelings.

This all happened to me, but I completely escaped the whole thing. You might want to give it a try:

It can really help a huge amount.
