I think most of us are guilty of these, I know the list seemed a check-a-thon for me. I survive by being an active and liberal self-forgiver.
I think one of the more salient pieces of mental health advice I've ever been exposed to was: that your emotions last much longer than your cognition. Thereby stating that if something makes you feel *anything* It's there a lot longer than the stimulus. I still remember and physically cringe from remembered embarrassments from YEARS back.
But alas, such is life.
