Does this sound like the set of challenges you might be facing?

• No reframe of this is going to work, because what happened really did happen
• When I try to think my way to something better I either swing to “everything’s fine!” which I don’t believe for a second, or I give up and stay in the dark version
• The same thing happened to someone else and it barely fazed them, while it’s wrecking me
• One thing goes wrong and my mind instantly makes it mean everything is ruined and always will be
• Something happens and the awful feeling that follows seems completely inevitable, like the event itself just did that to me
