Why is it so easy to torture ourselves and believe and remember all the negative things that happen or that are said, and forget about the positive things?

That’s a great idea!

Once you start writing everything down and crossing them off when completed, you will feel in more control. It won’t seem so overwhelming anymore. You’ll be able to see your progress and be proud of yourself. Just keep moving forward. Fear can paralyze you but action can kick fear to the curb. Good luck. You can do this. If you start having doubts, talk with someone. Online, in person. Write back after you get going and let us know how you’re doing.
