Have you read "Feeling Good" by David Burns? It's about CBT (cognitive behaviour therapy). It is all about taking your emotional thoughts and applying logic to them. It works well for me. I found the workbook to be better than the original book.
Essentially, you take your feelings, write them down and then argue with them, which is what you do here on the board. I'm sure it makes you feel better, doesn't it? It's our emotional minds that make us crazy, the stories we tell ourselves, not (usually) reality. This is a problem for me, too, and I'm working hard on it.
Here's a quote from Mark Twain that really resonates with me: "I've been through many terrible things in my life...and some of them actually happened."
