"Ugotta", ;)
Thanks for the cognitive advice. I've used & believed in CBT and thought-management techniques for years. I think they can be very helpful.
But what I'm trying to describe is a different sort of experience. My bad reaction to good things comes independently of my thoughts about the situation. It's like an autonomic adrenaline surge or insulin release, but it releases foul feelings.
For example, I may sincerely think, "That went well. Good!" But horrid private responses out of nowhere flood me.
I've looked for unconscious motivations for it as well. I could literally have bought a small house for what I've spent over the years on psychoanalysis and related therapies. But I'm now convinced that it is some kind of dysregulation in some neural arena.
Thanks for the personal offer, though. Very supportive.
