What discouragement, depression, despair often brings is distorted information (erroneous beliefs).

If there is nobody in your life to change it, those feelings will intensify. Ex: Elisha under the juniper tree.

If I am feeling sorry for myself, and I am talking to myself, that is a bad conversation for myself. If I am already feeling low, and there is nobody to talk to but me, about me, regarding me to tell me what I ought to do and I am not even in a place to hear me correctly, then my discussion with myself is helping myself to become worse off.

** Negative, critical, condemning or just bad thoughts can all be replaced. It takes time and requires us to think about what we are thinking about (pay attention to what you are thinking about).
