2 - When the closest ones put me off and I lose the last strength that I just hardly could gather within myself to do anything.
3 - When something goes against my expectations.

2 - When someone around is depressed. I'm like a sponge to other's feelings.
3 - When I lose spark/inspiration/motivation to move forward and fight.
