Can you remember what specific thoughts you are thinking that cause you to feel bad? What is the verbal dialogue that runs through your mind? Are there also images that you associate?
For example: I hate saying goodbye, when it comes time to leave that is going to be so painful, I really dread leaving, picturing the last time you left and you were crying... etc.
Also when you say you tried thinking positive, what specific positive thoughts were you trying to think? What was the internal resistence to these thoughts?
