Catastrophising Thought Reframe

It's 2am and one thought has decided tonight is the night to drag you through every disaster it can invent. This walks you through a calm CBT reframe: what backs the thought up, what cuts against it, what a level-headed friend would say, and the outcome that's actually likely. You drop in the thought, it does the questioning.

I have been having this thought: {AUTOMATIC_THOUGHT}. It keeps pulling me toward worst-case scenarios and I want to examine it rather than either believe it or push it away.

Walk me through a structured reframe using CBT principles. Ask me the key questions: what evidence supports this thought, what evidence runs against it, what would a trusted friend say about this situation, and what is the most realistic outcome rather than the worst one. Do not just tell me the thought is wrong. Help me think my way to a more balanced view.
