I went through that also. I realized I was too involved with the thoughts. Early on I had an experience watching thoughts that left me in tears over an old memory from 20 years ago. I had to get comfortable with being the watcher of the thoughts once again and not get wrapped up in them.
For some of us sometimes it's war in there; we mustn't forget our place in it all. One must remember it is all mearly for observation, acknowledgement and forgiveness.
This may or may not be your issue; this is one I'm all to familiar with so I thought I'd share it. I don't see many others sharing this but I know I'm not unique in this.
