02/ To the point where you can't think about anything else. It's like "chronic rumination” It’s painful, but it’s not the worst part.
The worst part is you start believing your situation will never go away. That you’ll be in this prison forever. ....

06/ so you fear you will have to go bankrupt, or forfeiture an apartment you bought in good faith. “ It's another awful day pushing this bloody rock up the hill,” you think. It’s a resignation to suffering. A tiredness. An acceptance of permanent mental discomfort.
