I find that if I try not to think about the bad pictures I make in my head, I think about them even more! Telling someone can kinda break this cycle for me. So if they are upsetting you, it may help to tell someone.
Also, if you tell someone about it, they can support you both now and in the future. I have discussed some of my distressing thoughts with my boyfriend, and so now all I have to say is "it's black inside my head tonight" and he knows I need to be held tight for a while.
