I understand! Been there, done that! Yes, I think they are related, no matter what a professional says. Pray for help!
Concentrate on other things when you have these feeling come up. SING a song, even if it is off key. Write poetry, and it doesn't have to rhyme. Write a letter to yourself about what you are feeling and why. Distraction is best. Dance. Don't spend too much time thinking about it in your head; talk out loud instead, GOD is there to listen if nobody else is.
