The CBT stuff was interesting, but this isn't a thought this is a feeling. An overpowering feeling that puts me in a dark place. I have to fight it. I don't understand it.

This is the same for me. It's that I'm sensitive to criticism and invalidation and other people are full of criticism and invalidation. Since therapy, I can recognize it far more easily, and it is AMAZING how much people do it every day under the label of "helping". Same way the lovely family used to "help". It just makes me want to hurt them!
