How can I possibly "think positive" when I am faced with such a negative situation that won't go away?

You should actually write down your qualities and potentials. Also, write down the problem you are facing along with the worst case scenarios. The answer shall reveal itself on its own if you just read the paper. Secondly, always reach out and connect. Thinking that you will be able to handle the problem all by yourself may not work every time. :)

Each one of us has our own challenges and hardships in life, but I think what really helps is to learn to look for the silver lining in any situation. If you are going through something difficult in your life, try to find anything at all positive about it - even if the only thing you can find to be thankful about is the fact that by going through it, you are given the opportunity to grow as a person - to become a stronger, wiser, more loving version of yourself!

Always remind yourself that you are you and no one else has the right to judge or change you. You have to remind yourself that everything is going to be fine.

It really helps to focus your efforts on helping other people, in an organized fashion. Self care is very important as well. However, many people find regular activity and meditation brings optimism into their lives

You start looking at yourself as a main character of your life story. You set your own limits by letting negative things and situations stand in your path, they make decisions for you.

I am sorry you are going through a hard time. Definitely when there is a negative situation it is extremely hard to see any light. Considering this situation wont go away implies that it's something not in your control. So. But what you can do is look at it from a different perspective, see how you can come to terms with it or take necessary steps to change. So when it says think positive it means look at the situation with the lense of positivity without disregarding the discomfort you are feeling. It is uncomfortable and we need to acknowledge that and see what we can do about it.
