- All your positive self-talk doesn’t work.
- You can’t talk yourself out of catastrophic thinking.
- Singing songs about disasters is disastrous.
- Your friends are telling you to snap out of it, but you have no snap left.
- You’re trying to get a grip on things, but you’re gripless.
- You can’t find the bootstraps to lift yourself up by, even if you knew what they were.
- Your melancholy is more like cholera than melons.
- You’ve been hoist in your own petard.
Maybe it is time to cry.
