Okay, so what do I do if I find my thoughts falling under these? Namely, Hopelessness, Overwhelming Yourself, Self-Labeling, Perfectionism, Fear of Failure, Success, and Disapproval, Coercion and Resentment, and Guilt and Self-Blame. Oh, and I am depressed too.

I haven't lost hope, I'm still trying, but it's very slow going. I'm positive that changing or getting rid of these thought patterns will have a huge effect on my life.
