Despondency.

First of all, you need to understand who is in despondency. And because of what. Answering the question WHO, we must understand that it is not we who are discouraged, this is our false self. False Ego. We ourselves are not really discouraged. And the false self shows its displeasure and feels despondent and sad because of the false self-perception. That is, the reason for staying in despondency is a false sense of self. This feeling means that we feel cut off from the whole, cut off from the world. We feel like separate beings. And when some event occurs that does not fit into our plans, does not meet our expectations, it is very easy for our desires to collapse, give up, succumb to the influence of circumstances so that we feel defeated. And it can become an overwhelming burden.
