Serendipity- thanks, that does actually make an awful lot of sense, and you're right, the harder you try to 'push' thoughts or feelings away the harder it actually is to get rid of them. I will try and focus on just letting the feeling come and pass in future hopefully!
I've tried distraction techniques and relaxation but I struggle with that. I guess I use a lot of avoidant behaviours I.e. Sleeping. I've also tried thought challenging when I'm experiencing thoughts about being fat/ugly/a failure etc.
I'm still in the process of getting help- I saw my GP not long ago and she's referred me to the CMHT for an assessment but that's not until the end of April unfortunately. I'm still on my meds though and finding they help somewhat.
I feel like perhaps this is just how things will always be so I should just accept it.
Serialangel- I often analyse these moments but 99% of the time there is no identifiable trigger.
