Feelings are often illogical. Don't let it bother you much. Focus on doing something you like. The feelings will fade away with time.

No feeling is an "illogical" one per say. Feelings are a part of us, and the more you struggle to ignore them or change them, you probably will feel worse about the situation at hand, and about yourself overall. Trying to accept what you are, and what you feel is a great start to resolving your problems, because by accepting your feelings, you will begin to understand the "How´s" and the "Why´s", which will help you on your journey to finding the answers you've been looking for!

I think for me to get rid of the illogical feelings to go away are to write down in my journal the illogical thoughts and then write the logical thoughts beside them it sure helps me to do that

Write them down and try and give reasons for them. If they're illogical, you won't have a reason. If you have a reason, you can start to work on it.

Take some time think about what are you feeling and why are you feeling that way. It helps to write out your thoughts or say them out loud. Sometimes when you speak out loud, even if it is to yourself, you can see how illogical you are thinking.

It is important to acknowledge these feelings as normal. Even though they can be intrusive, they have no power over you, and don't mean anything about you. It is helpful to take a few slow breaths and say "hello" to these feelings with a smile.

I would write down these illogical feelings, and possible outcomes because of these feelings. Writing this down will make it so I can make some logical conclusions based on different outcomes, etc.

I think you just have to wait until they go away. You can't control feelings or emotions, even when they're illogical. You're human and it's okay to feel how you feel.

What I do is constantly tell myself that the seemingly rational feelings are truly irrational, then I analyze the situation, label my emotions, and look at the correlation as well as the outcome.

Emotion is something that is vey hard to control, you just have an emotion, you don't choose to be happy or sad, you just are. So if you are having illogical feelings its hard to control them, we understand.
