I really strugle with whether I'm thinking my feelings or feeling my thinking or something else entirely. I don't think that strong emotion can be simply dismissed as 'cognitive distortion' and would probably want to smack someone in the mouth if they said that to me. How totally invalidating and generally devastating to tell someone that. Yep the circles are a problem, but the initial thing is prior to conscious thought surely (please, it would make me feel better). Gosh, should feeling and emotions even be thought of as being logical or illogical, hmm, just don't think so.
Interesting, interesting, interesting.
