Its a rejection of the inner self, played out on the body. Very difficult stuff. I know that you will be OK because of your great insight and inner strength.

Now I do it all the time...weird? Anyway, as Stacey said above, the important thing is that you recognize when it's happening and understand that your feelings aren't realistic...and just ride the wave out for the hours/couple of days that it sometimes takes.
