You must no longer believe that you are what you feel.  Instead, you turn the law around and say that the facts of life determine the feelings of life.  You become an expert at ferreting out the facts and making sure that your feelings are consistent with them.  If the feelings aren't right, you ignore your feelings and go with the facts until your feelings change.

You must no longer believe that your emotions are correct just because they feel so real.  The intensity of the emotion has nothing to do with whether the emotion reflects the way things are in the world.  Emotions are transient, and therefore, they change.  They no more reflect the facts of life than shadows from the clouds in the sky control the sun that creates them.

You must no longer believe that your twisted and distorted thoughts accurately reflect who you are or the world in which you live.  Twisted thinking is an anomaly of a dysfunctional mind, and it has nothing to do with reality; it's a distortion of reality.  You must learn to distrust the twisted thoughts echoing in your mind.  You must put a name on those thoughts and reject them for the imposters that they are.

That's the job you have ahead of you.  You must break the laws that rule the Land of Depression.  If you become good at breaking those laws, you can say good-by to the negative and depressing thoughts that have made your life into a nightmare.
