A never ending cycle of thoughts that mentally, emotionally, or physically drain a person, ultimately leading to their deterioration. That begin with the awareness of a negative situation or emotional state, which spirals them into self-pity and hopelessness of their current situation. The individual becomes trapped in this cycle by repeatedly returning to the same distressing thought or feeling, reinforcing the belief that their situation is unchangeable, leading to a deepening sense of despair. This loop makes it next to impossible to break free from, as each cycle reinforces the last.
