This is a question My Arch-nemesis

I lived in fear of a Darth Vader-esque school dinner lady who stood me perpetually at the naughty table for refusing to eat mushy peas. An ordeal made worse after I was caught spooning the accursed veg into her wellies. Who, we ask, has wrecked your life?

Thanks to Philly G for the suggestion

Counselling? I've found it helpful...
You need to find a good one though - there are some crap practioners out there as with every job. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy is currently fashionable thus easily available and great for challenging those self-defeating thought patterns we all get stuck in from time to time. Basically it'll give you an opportunity to hold those thoughts up to scrutiny, test them against experience and empower you to think and act differently. Your GP should give you six weeks on the house.

If you're interested in why your errant self operates the way it does and how those thought patterns will have originated then maybe pop along to a Psychodynamic Therapist for a weekly session. This can go on for years though and take you to some pretty weird places...
