You imagine yourself thinking a lot on how you are not good enough, life is not going to be the same, all that is lost in your life and so on.

Your thoughts are usually about failures, dead end, hopelessness and pain.

These thoughts usually lead to other thoughts and scenarios that are also unhelpful and painful in nature 

Sometimes or many times you also experience such hopelessness that you get thoughts of harming self or even thoughts on suicide or how you may be better off not being here [note: if you have suicidal thoughts, you must immediately visit an in person psychiatrist. You need that help. And also talk and share this with someone you trust]

You get thoughts like you have let your loved ones or your self down
