Man of you feel that how do I record my own thoughts while I am feeling so confused, depressed and low. I have no energy even to write and assess what I am feeling. I am agreeing with you.

Second Step: Once you write down your situation kindly write all the thought related to that situation or people involved in it. This is most important step through which you can decide your mood.
Third Step: Which are your automatic thoughts and images which force you to behave in certain way? Write them in detailed as well and make a note while you think those thoughts automatically.
Forth Step: Assess your behaviour and outcome. Write them down along with the moods you feel.

Talking to someone who can listen you not hearing you and jump to start giving you advise. Rather someone who actively listening you and accept you with your current state of mind. If you do not find first technique to be done with this can help as it takes less energy.
But here again you need to talk to someone who cannot judge you which helps you to ease your depression. Rather acknowledge you as you are and accept you. Ask the listener to repeat the problem which you are facing over n over again.
For an example, if you are knocked down and you talk to someone that,” everything in life is going wrong, my partner has left me, I am not doing well in job and waiting for boss to fire me. I see myself as big failure.”
So other side a listener can reframe the same like,” you believe you are fail because you lost your partner and not doing well in job. Am I listening right?”
Once this will be repeated over n over again you get clue from your thoughts. That you have either over generalized your situation or you have feelings of all-or-nothing in your mind.
Above two techniques if you apply in your depressed mood over n over again you can explore something new about you. At last the goal to achieve relief can be possible. Even after following the techniques and various other methods, you still feel depressed it is an alarm to seek a professional help.
