Feeling lonely, discouraged, or depressed once in awhile is something most of us experience. however feeling down, and hopeless for long periods of time may mean the person needs to seek .
a. reality
b. myth

This is A.Reality. Why, because most people experience this in there everyday lives and feeling lonely, discouraged or depressed isn't a Myth because some of us do experience it. Feeling down & hopeless still isn't a Myth because we (as I said above) experience this everyday. So the answer is A.Reality.
Hope I helped:-)
