The answer is "Lana thinking that being late for dinner is a catastrophe".

Cognitive distortions are basically ways that our brain persuades us regarding something that isn't generally valid. These off base musings are generally used to strengthen negative reasoning or feelings - disclosing to ourselves things that sound objective and exact, however extremely just serve to keep us feeling terrible about ourselves.
