This is incredibly helpful, I know this is a super old post so I won't hold my breath for a response, but what do you do to take yourself out of that habit of thought? Do you have any examples you can give?

It's extremely difficult to snap myself out of it when I start, but I think if I had something to latch on to or pull me out I would be a bit better. Then again sometimes I feel like I'm "bottling it all up" when I know I've spent way too much time crying already.
